Question 1

solid lesion 0.9 cm on ovary 60 years old why would the gyn oncologist send me to a urogynecology? she never seen me just seen my vaginal ultra sound report?

Accepted Answer

: Sub-specialists will often want to see previous records or lab to decide whether the issues are something they feel is within their area. Referring the person on to another doc who deals with the areas involved is not uncommon. You can always ask the question to the office staff of the doc, if you don't deal directly with them.

Question 2

my ultra sound results read " hyperemic solid mass on the back of my thigh,  what does that mean??

Accepted Answer

Depends: That is just a description of what the radiographer sees.  All it means is that there is increased resonance (can be seen better) and could be due to blood flow, clot, infection, mass. Hard to interpret without more clinical background.

Question 3

i had few answers from heathtap that doctors ask for breast ultra sound for differentiating if a mass is cystic or solid .. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Breast lump: Cystic means fluid-filled and generally means unlikely to be cancerous. If necessary, these can be drained with needle aspiration. Solid or non-fluid lumps are of more concern and often need to be biopsied to see if there are any cancer cells.

Question 4

i have a lump near my elbow.ultra sound it was solid & it was being fed by blood,  what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Usually benign: The most common solid lesions of the upper extremety are benign.  If soft, consider a lipomatous growth.  If firm benign fibromas can occur but one must think of MFH or a malignant fibrous tumor.  The presence of blood supply is hard to define without angiography. If this has recently been noted and growing, then biopsy is indicated to determine method of management.

Question 5

kidneys/ureters: 0.6 cm left upper pole exophytic renal mass, measuring 98 hu, most likely solid. this was incidental. but wasnt in my ultra sound last month. likelihood this is cancer? dr said rcc, angiolipoma?

Accepted Answer

: I wonder ultrasound and CT were done for what symptom(s). With that character, kidney mass, i.e. malignant lesion, can not be ruled out but it is quite small so you should not worry much at this time. I would suggest a repeat CT of the kidneys with IV contrast in 3 months. By that time, we should have more info about this lesion.

Question 6

i have 2.5 cm x 2.1 cm liver solid mass detected in segment 6 of right lobe via ultra sound. mri is to be done next. i feel little discomfort under right rib area effected by movement. could it be due to liver or i may have some other muscle issue?

Accepted Answer

: If the mass in section 6, even small, is approximate the liver surface, it can distend the liver capsule and causes discomfort. You may be able to make the distinction by moving your chest wall muscle and ribs by moving the right shoulder back and forth. If pain exacerbates a lot, pain is likely of musculoskeletal origin. However, you should not worry much, wait for MRI to be done.

Question 7

my 12yr old son had an ultra sound and there is a echogenic lesion what does this mean ?

Accepted Answer

: Please provide more details of his health history and the type of ultrasound.

Question 8

what does diffusley increased echogenicity of the liver mean? (it was in an ultra sound reading)

Accepted Answer

Explanation: The term "diffusely increased echogenicity of the liver" is most commonly used in the ultrasound report to indicate that there is diffusely increased fat content in the liver, also called "steatosis". That can be due to diet, recent alcohol intake, body habitus, and some rare genetic conditions which result in the liver trapping fat. The best thing to do is to talk to your doctor.

Question 9

hi doctor,  i just get the result of my ultra sound i just want to know what this means. " arising from the lower right cervical wall a hyperechoic well defined lesion was visualized measuring approx.93x.84x.87, color flow was visualized within the lesion

Accepted Answer

Simply a description: of a soft tissue structure, nature/significance unclear, with evidence of blood flow (i.e. the color flow) visualized. Lesion usually used to imply a structure which is not healthy, however this is not reliable. Need help of an OB/Gyn specialist, possibly surgeon, very familiar with your history, the specifics of what was being looked for &amp; devoted to wisely helping you protect you best interests.

Question 10

my ultrasound shows an isoechoic lesion of the left middle kidney which may represent an anatomic variance vs solid renal mass. what could that mean?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes normal: variations in the anatomy of the kidney can mimic a mass on ultrasound, and it is difficult to make a reliable determination.  When  this is the case, another study like CT or MRI can easily sort it out.  These usually turn out to be normal variations.
