in Kidney Cancer #1

Recently I was in the er for a matter not related to my past history of RCC. which I had partial nephrectomy for in Nov of 2013. The er dr did an abdominal ct without ccontrast and talked to me about a 1.5 cm fat i filtration (hard to see for sure) with calcification at cortex. I know I had ct with/without contrast on Sept 17 as part of my year Cancer work up. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if it normal. Every9ne I talk to medically says the calcification is not normal
