What does 'prominent soft tissue density demonstrating decreased attenuation on postcontrast imaging' mean on a ct report?

Depends...: Depends on where in the body it is what structure it is referring to - like a lymph node, in an organ, outside an organ or lymph node region, or in the subcutaneous tissues. I would need more information to expand more.
