Update on CT scan can someone help me understand?
Here is the update of my ct scan, maybe someone out there can help me to understand it. I don't see my Onc. again until August, so I am guessing that if these results mean anything abnormal she would call me.. this may get a little lenghthy...my results say there is a 9-mm hypodense nodule in the left lobe of the thryroid. No significant axillary, mediastinal, or hilar adenopathy. There is a focal 3.2 cm area of increased attenuation within the subcutaneous soft tissues inferior to the tram flap reconstruction. Uncertain significance but likey due to post operative in nature. There is increased attenuation within the anterosuperior mediastinum with a focal 1.7x2.1 cm soft-tissue density in this area.
There is are 2 tiny 5-mm hypodensity in the dome of the liver which is too small to definite characterize, but likely to represent a tiny cyst. There is a second 5-mm hypodenstiy in the posterior segment of the right lobe of the liver. Remainder of liver is normal. Bone windows unremarkable.
