What Does A CT Scan Report Of The Abdomen And Pelvis Showing Presence Of Small Amount Of Pelvic Ascites And Periportal Edema Indicate?
my CT scan of abdomen/pelvis area came back with this: Peritoneum: Small amount of pelvic ascites. Enlarged uterus might be secondary to underlying myomas and Liver: Periportal edema. Everything else was normal. I have been diagnosed with IDC 1cm tumor in right breast. I am assuming this means it is spreading to other areas?

Hello,
CT scan shows presence of fibroids/myomas in uterus. Myomas are benign tumors arising from smooth muscles.
Myoma requires treatment if they are symptomatic and cause pain, heavy bleeding, etc.
IDC in breast is an invasive tumor arising from breast tissue. It needs to manage by surgery and chemotherapy depending on the stage of the tumor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
