Question 1

ultrasound result for soft tissue mass found top of right shoulder- 3cm, heterogeneous, no deep tissue extention, with in subcontaneous fat layer, no internal vascularity is identified, no evidence of supraclavicular lymphadenophaty. is this bad?

Accepted Answer

: My guess it is a lipoma. Runs in families and should be able to find others elsewhere.

Question 2

what does all this mean..heterogeneous glandular tissue w mild increased vascularity suggestive of thyroiditis/no focal lesion identified?

Accepted Answer

Goiter/FNA: If this is your fna/fine needle aspirate result, then your doc will likely recommend medication and monitoring for your thyroid disease.

Question 3

anterior shin 1cm x .3 cm x .8 cm hypoechoic heterogenous well defined nodule within subcutaneous tissues immediately anterior to the fascia of the anterior compartment musculature. no interior vascularity. lesion is indertiminate.  what could it be?

Accepted Answer

: The description suggests something small and unlikely to be serious or consequential however the only way to know exactly what it is is by a biopsy. Erythema nodosum could be found at that location and it is usually a sentinel finds to something more systemic that needs to be comprehensively evaluated.

Question 4

my report says i have a mass measuring 2.8 cm with perioereal increased vascularity . what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

: Please re-ask your question, but with the precise spelling of the “perioereal” word. Also, would be helpful if you specify what type of study (x-ray, CT scan, MRI) and what part of the body. Thanks

Question 5

what exactly is a vascular mass?

Accepted Answer

A growth which has e: A vascular mass means a tumor or growth which has excess of blood flowing through it. It may be a benign tumor of blood vessesl commonly called hemangioma or it can be a cancerous growth, many of which has excess of blood flowing through them. You need to find out from the treating doctor what  is the cause of this mass/tumor and what is he/she recommending for diagnosis and treatment?

Question 6

hard mass on area interior to elbow suspected vascular blocked which was r/o?

Accepted Answer

Elbow mass: Has an X-Ray of the elbow been done to look for a bone growth or spur? Perhaps an orthopedic surgeon could offer some advice.

Question 7

how big is a 2-cm heterogeneous mass at the lower pole of the thyroid?

Accepted Answer

Less than one inch: One inch is 2.54 cm, so your mass is a little less than one inch in diameter.  You should have it biopsied at your earliest convenience, along with thyroid blood tests.

Question 8

i have a 6mm mass in my left thyroid love and it's considered diffuse heterogeneous. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Nonspecific: A 6 mm thyroid nodule is small.  We usually do not worry about nodules under 10 mm.  A diffusely heterogeneous thyroid is commonly seen in patients with hashimoto's thyroiditis.  This is an autoimmune disorder that can result in an underactive thyroid.  You list being on immunosuppressive therapy.  If you have one autoimmune disorder, you are at higher risk for another.

Question 9

small lobulated heterogeneously enhancing isodense mass at upper pole of left kidney measuring 2.8x2.4 cm. please help?

Accepted Answer

Ask your doctor...: More info on your general health profile will help decision-making. Clinically, nowadays, you have 3 reasonable options to follow including: 1, if young and healthy, do laparoscopic partial nephrectomy; 2. if reluctant, do biopsy to decide benignancy or malignancy - if malignant, operate as that in 1.; if benign, watch and see; 3.consider radio-frequency or cryo ablation. More? Ask... Or See me...

Question 10

1.5x6x1.1 cm ill defined heterogeneous hypoechoic area internal vascularity no central calcifications on a diffusely heterogeneous lobe. is this bad?

Accepted Answer

The ultrasound: Report should give recommendations on follow up or need for biopsy. Most thyroid findings are benign. When there is doubt, fine needle biopsy is often done as it is easy on the patient and often definitive.
