Question 1

right breast at the 8:00 position 4 cm from the nipple corresponding to a palpable abnormality. scan images demonstrate a 1.3 x 0.8 x 1.7 cm. left breast at the 12:00 position 6 cm from the 1.5 x 0.8 x 1.3 cm circumscribed hypoechoic mass? thanks

Accepted Answer

: Obtain a referral to a surgeon familiar with treating breast abnormalities, who may recommend biopsies.  If one has a family history of breast cancer in a prime relative (mother, sister, grandmother) a tissue microscopic diagnosis is indicated.

Question 2

what would this be a sign of? "oval, circumscribed, hypoechoic mass in the right hemineck without fatty hilum, measuring 25 x 12 x 11 mm" i am scheduled for a neck ct in the next few weeks?

Accepted Answer

: I like to review these findings with the radiologist &amp;get more input. I assume there is no involvement of the thyroid gland. This noncystic neck mass without a hilum may or may not be a malignant lymph node. A cystic mass without a hilum is much more suspicious. I recommend consulting a head and neck surgeon to help guide you through the workup and go over the upcoming ct scan findings.

Question 3

is this a lymph node or breast tissue: circumscribed hypoechoic mass with central hyperechoic focus measuring 10x8x7mm in right axilla... ?

Accepted Answer

Need follow up: By your doctor , if it is in axilla it is most likely a lymph node , ( where they are supposed to be and normal ) some times breast tissue will have lymph nodes which need closes follow up , to rule out it is not some thing serious , go to your doctor for regular follow up.

Question 4

39 yo extremely dense fibrocystic breasts w/well-circumscribed macrolobulated hypoechoic mass 11:00 left breast 3cm above nipple birad 4? cancer?

Accepted Answer

No easy answer: It is imperative that you talk with the physician who took care of you. There are many possibilities and I would have to know more about these findings to give you my best opinion.

Question 5

what is a pancreatic hypoechoic circumscribed solid mass?

Accepted Answer

Solid mass: Have your doctor show you the image that confirmed the above mass.

Since it is a circumscribed mass surgical removal should not be a problem. The surgery is straightforward and the recover is early.

Question 6

i have a 2.7 x1,8x2.3 cm hypoechoic mass in my liver?

Accepted Answer

What's your question: I see that you reported a finding from an abdominal sonogram.  In general, a hypoechoic mass should have additional evaluation.  Do you have a more specific question?

Question 7

what does " having small rounded hypoechoic mass measuring 2.2 cm x 2.3 cm in size on the anterior myometrial wall" mean to a woman trying to get preg?

Accepted Answer

Uterine mass ?: The dimensions of a "mass on the anterior myometrial wall" is basically a one inch diameter "fibroid" noted on ultrasound, and has very little of significance related to fertility issues.  "Fibroids" are benign smooth muscle tumors, and on the exterior wall of the uterus, do not interfere with pregnancy or fertility. Ask your gyn about a hysterosalpingogram, which deals with tubal obstruction.

Question 8

doctors: what does having a large hypoechoic mass with multiple anechoic cystic areas mean?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Where is the mass?  What organ?  What symptoms or problem?  What led your doctor to order an ultrasound examination?

Question 9

my wife was just found to have a "lobulated hypoechoic mass" in her groin area? more tests are forthcoming but what possible diagnoses are there?

Accepted Answer

Need to know organ.: In which organ of the groin (skin? cervix? uterus?) was the lobulated hypoechoic mass found? Usually, hypoechoic means that it's fluid-filled, ie, a cyst of some sort. Lobulated means that rather than being spherical or ovoid in shape, it seems to have two different lobes ("Mickey Mouse ears" in appearance). Some organs are prone to forming cysts; others don't (in which case it's more worrisome).

Question 10

i have a hypoechoic thyroid on my left, measuring 0.413 x 0.546cm.the left thyroid is markedly reduce un size without mass. what does this mean?worrie

Accepted Answer

Your nodule: Is fairly small, and many physicians wouldn't even biopsy it unless it enlarged or there were other factors noted on ultrasound or lab. If your blood levels are normal, don't worry about the left lobe. Check w/your doctor.
