Answered by Dr. T Chandrakant (1 hour later)
Brief Answer:
Needs surgical excision

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your information, albeit short and specific.

Read your CT scan report, which shows your symptoms of pain in right upper abdomen anterior and posterior pain, intense over last week and nausea.

The report shows:
Prominent amount of stool in colon without any signs of obstruction.
Post cholecystectomy, hysterectomy and oophrectomy- will obviously be as per your surgical history.
Diffuse fatty liver infiltration with mild enlargement.
*Surgical changes to the left anterior abdominal wall with rim enhancing and peripherally calcified chronic appearing fluid collection within the subcutaneous soft tissues. * Size not mentioned.

Although the position of the lesion is not matching the symptoms that have been mentioned in the CT scan, I would advise you to consult a General Surgeon and request for excision of the whole lesion and send it for histo-pathological examination.
Laxatives for the loaded colon.
Upper GI Endoscopy for the right sided pain in abdomen.

I hope, these measures will help you to get a proper diagnosis and proper treatment too.
Wishing you all the best.
