CT Scan Results Confusing

I recently had a CT scan of my pelvis and abdomen due to unexplained swelling of my left leg and foot.  Here are my results.  I could really use some answers. Here are the areas of concern.  Everything else was fine.

**Liver appears normal in size and contour. Prominence of intrahepatic ductal system is visualized of unknown etiology.

**Heterogeneous enhancing left adrenal mass measuring 1.7 x 2.7cm is identified.

**A 2.8 x 3.4cm cystic lesion visualized in the left adnexa.  This most likely represents an ovarian cyst.

I was told that my red blood count was good.

My concerns are what is meant about the liver? Is that bad? What is heterogeneous regarding the adrenal mass?  And could any of this be causing the swelling in my leg?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

My friend's son-in-law has had a chalky taste in his mouth for a while.
He is not and has not been on any type of medication lately. He has no other symptoms other than the chalky taste.
Why do you think he has this taste in his mouth?

The only other thing on that side that bothers me is my sciatica.  Don't know if can cause leg swelling, but it is very bothersome.  I'm sure the mri will show if any thing in my back is not right.

yes, twice it came back fine for blood clots.

I am just paranoid that the other stuff is cancer and I'm a wreck until i see my doctor.  Just scared I guess.

Thank You!

An adrenal mass needs to be further imaged with an MRI to get better clarity.  

The liver has a prominent ductal system.  Further investigation of this should be done to exclude a mass or blockage of the ducts.  An MRCP and abdominal ultrasound would be tests to consider.

I am unsure whether these findings would lead to the swelling.

These options should be discussed with your personal physician.
