Explaintion of left seminal vesical finding.

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I have recently have had bad abdomen pain in upper, lower area, and back pain as well. I had a CT of the Abdomen & Pelvis w/contrast. The Impression is LARGE soft tissue density in region of left seminal vesical of uncertain etiology. My Urologist was unable to explain what exactly that means. My prostate checked out ok along with all other findings in the CT, I also had a Colonoscopy done which internal hemmorroids where found. I'am currently still having lower back pain with upper abdomen pain shortly after I eat. I'am currently taking prevacid for acid reflux, high fiber diet for the hemorrhoids. They only surgery I had done was the removal of my gallbladder( 5 years ago). Please help in explaining what the findings mean and if you recommend any other tests I should have done to explain what the CT scan found in my left seminal vesical.
Thank you

Again, tough to say without seeing the study. A soft tissue density could be a cyst, lipoma (i.e. fatty tissue deposit), or soft-tissue malignancy. The most comprehensive way to define this would be to biopsy the lesion. This can be evaluated via a general surgeon or another urology referral if the diagnosis remains unclear.
