Understanding CT Scan
by star3, Aug 26, 2007 01:50PM
I had a spiral CT scan done for kidney stones. My doctor called and said that I need to take the films to my OB/GYN. I have a copy of the report and it reads "The uterus shows a high density mass in the region of the fundus projecting into the endometrial canal. This measures up to 2.5 cm in size. It is unclear if this represents a fibroid protuding into the endometrium or a mass arising primarily in the endometrium." What exactly does this mean? Should I be worried?

Hi there,
it may be a polyp or a fibroid. the best next step to discuss with your doctor is to schedule a D&C (dilation and curettage) and hysteroscopy.

Thank you!! I have an appointment with my GYN in two weeks. At least I know what tests he should order - and if not I know what I should ask to be done. Again, thank you - this site is wonderful!!
