My mother recently had a CT scan for abdominal pressure they thought was diverticulitis, and found ovarian masses. I've tried to search some of the medical terms included in the CT analysis to better understand as the 3-day wait for her CA-125 results/oncology appointment has been gut wrenching. This is for my own understanding as I don't want to confuse or worry her further.
Findings:
New bilateral heterogeneously enhancing adnexal/ovarian masses. Left adnexal mass 5x9 x 6.5 cm. Right adnexal mass solid component at least 6.1 x 4.9 cm.
Moderate abdonimal pelvic ascites. Mild anterior omnetal nodularity. Liver,spleen,pancreas kidneys and adrenal glands have normal CT appearance.
Impression:
New bilateral ovarian/adnexal heterogenous masses with moderate abdominal pelvic ascites probable omental caking. Compatible with neoplasm until proven otherwise.
From my initial search, many of these key phrases indicate a malignancy and do not look good. I am not a doctor, though. If anyone has experience interpreting these or could shed some light (hopefully a hopeful light), that would be incredible.
I appreciate you taking the time to read.
Thank you.
