I had the colonoscopy because I was due once I turned 55 for preventative reasons. The CT scan was because of my sudden loss of weight and abdominal problems. They want to rule out cancers and other things that can cause my symptoms. The first ultrasound was because the CT scan found something on one of my kidneys. The follow up ultrasound is because:
IMPRESSION: Round, well-defined 8 mm hypoechoic lesion with increased through transmission in the lateral aspect of the right kidney corresponding to lesion described on prior CT. This likely represents a complicated cyst. As it is difficult to definitively determine whether this is a simple cyst, consider followup ultrasound to assess lesion stability.
