A hypodense liver mass is an area of the liver that shows up as a different color on ultrasound or CT scan than the liver itself. It is not a diagnosis, but only an observation of the picture the radiologist took. It's often found "accidentally" while looking for something else, and doesn't need treatment but may need a follow-up picture in a few months. Your health care provider will combine this finding with the ohter information gathered from the history, physical, and lab tests to determine what this finding means for you.

What is the difference between hypodense mass and isodense mass?

I think you misheard. I am guessing they said it was a 6 cm hypodense left adnexal mass, not adrenal mass. Talk to your gynecologist today, or see the specialist to whom the hospital referred you.


What is a hypodense lesion?

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.
