The CT scan results have come back and as far as I can understand them, it looks like everything came back as “normal,” which is a relief for sure. For any of you who might like reading medical stuff, I’ll post the results as they came back to me:
Results (Chest)
Lungs and large airways
The central airways are clear without endobronchial lesions. No pulmonary nodule, mass or consolidation.
Pleura
No pleural effusion. No pneumothorax.
Mediastinum and Hila
Homogenous, somewhat triangular soft tissue density in the anterior mediastinum favors residual thymic tissue. No pathologically enlarged lymph nodes are identified.
Heart and Pericardium
The heart is normal in size. No significant pericardial effusion.
Vessels
The ascending aorta is nonaneurysmal. The main pulmonary artery is nondilated.
Chest Wall and Lower Neck
Thyroid gland appears normal. No enlarged supraclavicular or axillary lymph nodes.
Bones
No acute or aggressive bony lesions.
Results (Abdomen and Pelvis)
Liver
Liver demonstrates smooth margins. No focal liver lesions.
Gallbladder and biliary ducts
No calcified gallstone. No gallbladder wall thickening or pericholecystic fat stranding. No intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation.
Pancreas
The pancreas is homogenous. No main duct dilation.
Spleen
The spleen is normal in size. No focal lesion. Adrenal glands: No adrenal mass.
Kidneys and ureters
Symmetric cortical enhancement. No complex renal mass. No stone or hydroureteronephrosis.
Urinary bladder
No urinary bladder wall thickening.
Reproductive organs
No abnormality detected.
Bowel
The small and large bowel loops are normal in caliber and contour. No evidence of bowel obstruction.
Lymph nodes
No abdominopelvic lymphadenopathy by imaging criteria.
Peritoneum
No free air. No organized fluid collections. No ascites.
Vessels
Abdominal aorta is nonaneurysmal.
Abdominal wall
No hernia or mass.
Bones
No acute or aggressive bony lesions.
Scan Results Impression
No evidence of metastatic disease in the chest, abdomen, or pelvis.
Soft tissue density in the anterior mediastinum favors residual thymic tissue. Recommend attention on follow-up imaging.
Recommendation: Continued imaging surveillance as per oncology protocol.
