Question : Just got the results of my pelvic ultrasound. It says: Small round echogenic structure in the midline pelvis as described above. No pelvic lesion was demonstrated on CT urogram 3/3/2015. This may represent bowel or enteric content. No calcification was demonstrated on 3/3/2015.
Findings: Status post hysterectomy. There is a round, echogenic structure with posterior acoustical shadowing nd no blood flow in the midline pelvis measuring 0.9 x 0.9 x 1.0 cm.

What does all this mean?

Brief Answer:
It is not thing to worry about!

Detailed Answer:
Hi! thanks for your query!

According to my vast experience of needle biopsies under ultrasound and CT guidance, I must consider following possibilities in your case:

1. an enlarged lymph node could be related to non-specific mild pelvic infection

2. a partly calcified or hyalinised stromal nodule or area on the omentum, fat content, peritoneum or bowel wall

3. fecalith o solidified food content in the bowel

4. suture granuloma or dystrophic / age related change in the midline soft tissues

In any case, this is benign and as this is new and solitary, there is nothing to worry!

Hope you got the answer and now convinced enough...also have a discussion with your primary doctor...
