Dr. Sridhar V

How do you deal when you discover ‘Incidentalomas’ while doing a scan …be USG, CT or MRI??

Definition of Incidentaloma:

“An incidentally discovered mass or lesion, detected by CT, MRI, or other imaging modality performed for an unrelated reason.”

From    Free Dictionary

 

Sometime back a patient came for routine USG study of Abdomen while undergoing Master Check Up. The USG picked up a cystic lesion with internal echoes in the pelvis of the Kidney.
