A cystic expansile lesion within the sacral canal refers to a fluid-filled sac or abnormal growth located in the sacral region of the spine, which can cause widening of the canal. These lesions may be congenital, such as a sacral cyst or a dermoid cyst, or they can be acquired due to various conditions, including infections or tumors. Symptoms may include pain, neurological deficits, or changes in bowel and bladder function, depending on the lesion's size and location. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies like MRI or CT scans.
A cystic lesion on the right lobe of the thyroid refers to a fluid-filled sac that forms within the thyroid gland, which is located in the neck. These lesions can vary in size and are often discovered incidentally during imaging studies. While many cystic lesions are benign and may not require treatment, some can be associated with thyroid disorders or, rarely, malignancy. Evaluation by a healthcare professional is essential to determine the appropriate management based on imaging characteristics and clinical presentation.
An intra-lesion bleed is bleeding within the area of abnormal tissue.
A lesion containing homogeneous means that the tissue within the lesion has a consistent appearance throughout, without variations in texture, density, or enhancement. This can be seen on imaging studies like MRI or CT scans where the lesion appears uniform in its makeup. It suggests a more uniform composition or structure within the lesion.
(Cystic fibrosis/Cancer) is a growth disorder of cells that occurs when cells divide uncontrollably within the body.
Cervical, brachial, lumbar and sacral.
An intraparenchymal lesion refers to an abnormality or lesion located within the actual tissue of an organ, typically seen on imaging studies like MRI or CT scans. These lesions can be caused by various conditions such as tumors, infections, or bleeding within the tissue itself. Further investigations and tests are usually needed to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

A focal lesion in the prostate refers to a specific area within the prostate gland that appears different from the surrounding tissue on imaging studies such as ultrasound, MRI, or CT scan. These lesions can be benign or malignant and may require further evaluation, such as a biopsy, to determine the nature of the lesion.
Substantial physical lesions, e.g. neoplasm, hemorrhage, granuloma, which occupy space; the effect is more significant if the lesion is within a space confined by bone, e.g. thorax, cranium, bone marrow cavity.
A hypoechoic myometrial lesion refers to an area within the uterine muscle (myometrium) that appears darker on an ultrasound due to its lower echogenicity compared to surrounding tissue. This type of lesion can indicate various conditions, including fibroids, adenomyosis, or other benign or malignant tumors. The specific characteristics and implications of the lesion can vary, so further evaluation may be needed for accurate diagnosis and management.
A cystic lesion in the knee refers to a fluid-filled sac that forms within or around the knee joint, often due to various conditions such as trauma, inflammation, or degenerative changes. Common types include Baker's cysts, which occur behind the knee, and ganglion cysts, which can develop in surrounding tissues. These lesions may cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility, but treatment varies depending on the underlying cause and severity of symptoms. In some cases, they may resolve on their own, while others may require medical intervention.
Tarlov cysts are fluid-filled sacs that occur at the nerve roots in the sacral region of the spine, often causing pain and neurological symptoms. Perineural cysts, on the other hand, are typically found along the spinal nerve roots and may not always cause symptoms. Subarachnoid cysts are located within the subarachnoid space, which surrounds the brain and spinal cord, and are usually associated with cerebrospinal fluid. While all three types of cysts involve nerve structures, they differ in their locations and potential impact on neurological function.
