my husband has just had an apendicitis. In the CT scan it was found (incidental finding) two hypodense focal massess in the neck of the pancreas that will require follow up (MRI). We are freaking out. What could that mean? is it smething seriois or somethig normal? Thanks
Proximal lesion
STROKE
Yes
there is some information on this subject on the asociated link(Skin Tumors, Vascular Lesions, Face and Neck) below.
A T2 hyperintense right renal lesion is a mass found on the right kidney. It could be a simple cyst or indicative of a tumor.
Lesion appears to be ill defined and slightly hypodense on the non contrast and shows bright enhancement on the arterial phase scan
what is afocal hypodense area in the right hippocology region
Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Tumor
A hypodense lesion refers to an area in the body, typically seen on imaging scans like CT or MRI, that appears darker than surrounding tissue due to reduced density. This can indicate various conditions such as a tumor, cyst, or area of infarction with decreased blood flow. Additional testing or evaluation is usually required to determine the underlying cause of the hypodense lesion.
a hypodense lesion is any lesion in the brain of density lesser than the normal tissue.it can be any fluid collection such as pus, blood or cyst or any low grade tumors with cystic changes.occipital region is a region in the backside of the brain. so hypodense lesion in occipital region denotes any of the above lesions in that region.to find out the exact lesion clinical correlation is needed.
they are hypodense typically though can have a varied appearance. They can be diagnosed definitvely with a contrast enhacned CT or MR due to a characteristic enhancement pattern. They are a benign lesion.
A hypodense lesion is one that is darker than the surrounding tissue on ultrasound. The clinical significance, if any, will be determined by considering your radiology findings in conjunction with the history and physical.
CPT codes are also known as current procedural terminology codes. The cpt code for the excision of lesion of the pancreas is 52.22.

A hypodense lesion within the lateral left posterior fossa in the brain indicates an area that appears darker on imaging studies like CT scans, suggesting lower density compared to surrounding tissue. This finding may be due to various underlying causes such as a tumor, cyst, abscess, or hemorrhage, and further evaluation is often needed to determine the exact nature and significance of the lesion.
What does this mean........innumerable multiple hypodence lesions involving both lobes of the liver measuring 2 to 5 mm. Nodularity of the liver contour .there is mild hepatomegaly
It all depends on what the lesion is made of and where it is on the spine. A benign lesion is non-cancerous whereas a malignant lesion is cancerous.Lesions can be defined according to the patterns they form. Lesions can also be categorized by their size. A gross lesion is one that can be seen with the naked eye. A microscopic or histologic lesion requires the magnification of a microscope to be seen.
