I just recieved copies of my abdominal CT and found some things to be 'weird'. Can anyone explain the following?... The liver shows area of low attenuation adjacent to the fissure for falciform ligament w/ fatty infiltration. Right renal cyst is present in upper pole posteriorly measuring 11cm. Shotty retroperitoneal adenopathy is present. Shotty mesenteric adenopathy is seen in rt. lower quadrant. Study shows area of focal fatty infiltration of the liver. Mild dependent peripheral interstitial densities are noted, which represent atelactasis. Atelactasis is seen within the lingula as well.
I am a 27yr old male w/ stomach pain and also 2 herniations in lumbar spine. Can anyone shed some light on these finding? I see my Dr. in 2 days and some of this stuff sounds kinda serious.

OOh, gee, it does sound serious. Your stomach pain is probably due to you liver problems. You need referrals to a urologist for the kidny problem, an a gastroenterologist for the liver. A pulmonologist can address the atalectasis.

I don't know what your results mean but I would just wait to talk to your doctor, and if you're worried about having something serious, go out and do something fun to take your mind off of it.

You do know we are a bunch of Yahoos, right? Not actual doctors. We do not even play doctors on TV...
