A low attenuation mass is seen in the posterior aspect, left mid kidney which enhances following contrast administration and is worrisome for neoplasm. In addition, cysts are seen in the kidneys bilaterally. The left renal vein, inferior vena cava are normal. No significant adenopathy seen. 2. Poorly defined low attenuation area measuring less than 1 cm in the medial segment near the dome of the liver. This may represent volume averaging of adjacent subphrenic fat.
