Question : I just received results back following a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis due to ongoing abdomen pain along with some blood test results that were off a bit. My Dr's are not sure how to proceed as they say everything is normal. The CT Scan said "Cholecystectomy. Tiny low-attenuation lesion in the liver, too small to characterize, but likely a cyst. The spleen, adrenal glands and pancreas are normal. Trace amount of free fluid in the pelvis. Hysterectomy. Normal kidneys. Appendectomy. Postoperative lower lumbar spine." The two blood tests that showed slightly out of normal range were "Red Cell Distribution Width - High, Mean Platelet Volume - Low"

Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. I would insist you to upload the concerned reports. It will help me to correlate and suggest.

An abdominal imaging can suggest gall bladder stones but whether cholecystectomy is neededis a matter of clinical judgment.

I will await your response.

If you have already undergone Cholecystectomy, possibly it was mentioned as 'history' or in the finding that the gall bladder has been excised. Anyway, I would be able to guide once have a look at the relevant reports. I would request you to upload them.
