ct scan result

Could someone please explain to me in laymen terms the result of this ct scan of my mother's abdomen and pelvis (post iv contrast material)

A hellical axial ct scan was performed through the abdomen and pelvis post iv contrast material followed by sagittal and coronal reconstructions. There is a +- 2.7 x 1.4 cm irregularly but predominately peripherally enhancing mass lesion involving section 6-7 of the right lobe of the liver.  Incidental Riedel's lobe involving the liver, with the liver heterogenous in density.  Gall bladder unremarkable.  Billary system, pancreas, both adrenal glands and kidneys within normal limits.  Mild splenomgaly with an incidental splenuncule.

Vessels are patent with small scattered para-aortic and inguinal lymph nodes, but no significant lympadenopathy.  No pleural effusion, pericardial effusion or ascites.  Mid-distal small bowel and proximal large bowel unremarkable, with normal ileocecal junction and appendix, although appendix does not opacify.  There is diverticular disease involving the descending and sigmoid colon, with associated ball wall thickening.  There is a small amount of free pelvic fluid.  No pleural or pericardial effusion.  Uterus and both ovaries within normal limits.  Inguinal hernial sites re intact.  No abdominals or pelvic mass lesion.

There is a +- 2.3 x 2.3 cm hypodesnity noted in the right cardiophrenic angle, measuring fluid density, ?pericardial cyst?other.  This patient should have a dedicated CT Scan of the Chest (inspiration) re further evaluation.   The rest of the examination unremarkable.  

Comment:  
Findings involving the liver parenchyma as previously demonstrated, ?hemangioma? (was red blood cell radio-isotope liver scan ever done?] Mild splenomegaly with incidental splenuncule.  No signiciant lymadenopathy.  No abdominal or pelvic mass lesion.   Bladder wall thickened.  Small amount of free pelvic fluid.   No Pleural effusion.  Density right cardiophrenic angle, which should be further assessed with a cat scan of the chest.  Bony skelton as previously described.
