Scan Report Showed Cortical Lesion With Mild Increased Echogenicity Compared With The Renal Cortex. Meaning?
Hello,
Would like to know what this means in a renal ultrasound,
In the mid upper pole left kidney there is a rounded cortical lesion measuring about 2.4cm. This lesion is of mild increased echogenicity compared with the renal cortex. This is difficult to differentiate as a complex cystic or more likely solid lesion. Enhanced Ct or MRI would be of further value for better characterization.. No other cystic or solid left renal lesion is identified. There is no hydronephrosis or perinephric collection.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
According to reports,
There is 2.4 cm rounded lesion in cortical(outer)part of left kidney(in mid upper region)and this is mildly increased in echogenicity as compared to kidney.
It can be complex cystic mass or solid lesion.
Its nature can be confirmed on CT Scan or MRI.
Other findings are within normal limit.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take Care
