Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of the Ct scan report is as follows:
There is a mass in the sub-carinal region.
Sub-carinal region is present in the mid-chest.
This mass is compressing the esophagus and thus causing the mass effect.
Sub-carina is the site of lymph nodes and ttheir pathological conditions, soft tissue growths etc.
The exact nature of the mass lesion can be detrmined by aspiration and biopsy of the lesion.
Appropriate management can be planned after relevant investigations.
Thanks and take care
