Question 1

what does unilocular anechoic cyst mean?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: Anechoic means that the fluid is homogenous...there is no internal debris, air bubbles, solid portons, etc... that would reflect the ultrasound beam(therefore no echoes or 'anechoic').  Unilocular means that the cyst does not have any compartments or internal divisions.  Both of these findings are benign features.

Question 2

7.7x7.7x5.8 cm ovarian cyst that is predominantly anechoic with a single septation. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Simple Cyst: Although in healthy reproductive aged women, ovarian cysts usually are less than 5cm in diameter, if it is a little bigger (like yours), it is probably nothing to worry about.  Every month, you form an ovarian cyst where the egg develops.  After fertilization or menses, the cyst usually goes away.  You should follow up in about 30-60 days for another evaluation.

Question 3

what does 3 mm anechoic region on head of baby in ultrasound of uncertain significance mean? is it on cyst on the babys head? will it go away?

Accepted Answer

Difficult to say: There is not enough information. For example, are you pregnant? How far along? Was ultrasound performed after birth? It is not unusual to see a neuropore during first weeks of gestation.

Question 4

had transvaginial ultrasound for suspected cyst.  result says a 1.9x2cm anechoic structure is seen thought to be cyst.  what does this mean exactly?

Accepted Answer

Without echoes: Anechoic means without echoes.  In other words, it is fluid-filled as opposed to solid.  This fits sonographic criteria for a cyst.  Simple cysts are typically benign.  Is this ovarian?

Question 5

1.8 cm cyst on right ovary nearly anechoic structure which has the appearence of a cyst with debris what does this mean ?

Accepted Answer

It means : That it is probably benign, not cancer.  Ask your doctor for specific advice on treatment.

Question 6

baby's 3m.old.she has marginated homogeneous anechoic cyst lesion adjacent to outer table of skull (2.7*2cm).w is mean dr.?cyst removed or disappears

Accepted Answer

Brain cyst: It appears the child may have an arachnoid cyst which is common. If she is developing normally do not worry.

Question 7

good after'n docs. had a breast scan. result: a simple cyst with anechoic content is seen in d liq of the right breast, diameter 7.5mm. means what pls?

Accepted Answer

Usually benign: simple cyst is a fluid filled sac usually a good sign. Anechoic means it is not echoic because it's filled with fluid and light goes through it and doesn't bounce back. (Echoic means there is probably calcification and light bounces back and that could mean trouble.) LLQ means left lower quadrant/part of your breast. You know what diameter means. (length from one edge of cyst to another)

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

uts reslt:left thy-superior o.5x0.5x0.3cm mixd cystic predminantly isoechoic (tr 2), inferior0.6x0.6x0.5cm mixd cystic isoechoic wd peripheral, internal vasculrity (tr 2)mid 0.3x0.3x0.2 cm cystic & anechoic(tr 1) what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

: The details in the ultrasound report refer to multinodular thryoid findings, with mixed cystic (fluid filled) and solid components.  The "internal vascularity" may indicate a need for biopsy.  Consult an ENT physician for treatment/diagnostic options.

Question 10

in an kidney ultrasound reports shows:  an anechoic focus seen in the midpole measuring 32mm x 31mm x 29mm consistent w/ parenchymal cystic focus.  
what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: You have a solitary kidney cyst. Usually these fluid filled structures require no treatment unless they cause symptoms or interfere with kidney function. A urologist can advise you if you prefer.
