There is minimal perilesional stranding of fat plane. The liver is normal in size, contour and attenuation. No obvious focal hepatic parenchymal lesion is seen.

Pathologist and Microbiologist 's  Response
Hello,

The CT scan report shows a hernia and an adjacent cystic lesion. The cystic lesion needs to be excised for histopathological examination and ventral hernia needs to be repaired. In addition, there is very small cyst in left kidney which is likely to be asymptomatic. This cyst needs to be followed up to rule out any increase in size.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
