Brief Answer:
Please elaborate.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for letting us know your health concern.

I would like to know more about your mother's condition. Why was the sonogram done? Are there any symptoms like heavy periods, intermenstrual bleeding, pain etc.?

If possible, please upload the sonogram report and any relevant information.

Since the lesion is well defined, it is more likely to be a myoma which can show calcification. CT scan, MRI can be useful for more precision. A myoma is a benign tumor i.e., it is not cancerous.

Hope you find this information useful. Please feel free to contact for further clarifications. I will be happy to help.

regards,
