Unexplained weight loss of 30lbs since january and left upper quadrant abdominal pain.
The cat scan also showed a 12.6 x 1.8 cm low destiny lesion with small accumulation of free fluid in the lower pelvis

Thank you for the followup.

Given your age, the possibility that this represents cancer is extremely low. Given that you had a partial hysterectomy, this implies that your tubes and ovaries were left in place. This most likely represents something involving one of your tubes or ovaries. Here is what should happen:
1. You need a consult with an OB/GYN
2. You need a pelvic ultrasound (this is a much better was to view things in the pelvis
3. You probably need a laparoscopy (a surgery to look in the pelvis)

I hope that this helps!
