This term means that a lesion (or spot) on or around a follicle (in an ovary) has been found but the pathologist making this report is not sure if it is important or not.
Surgery is not always recommended for follicular lesion of undetermined significance. Often, a repeat fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy or close monitoring with periodic follow-up is recommended to assess if the lesion changes over time. Surgery may be considered if the lesion is suspicious for cancer or if it grows in size on follow-up imaging.
A hypodense lesion within the lateral left posterior fossa in the brain indicates an area that appears darker on imaging studies like CT scans, suggesting lower density compared to surrounding tissue. This finding may be due to various underlying causes such as a tumor, cyst, abscess, or hemorrhage, and further evaluation is often needed to determine the exact nature and significance of the lesion.
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.
The ICD-9 code for a throat lesion is 478.4, which is specifically designated for the inflammation of the pharynx.
A hyperemic heterogeneous lesion refers to an area of tissue that appears red ("hyperemic") and has varying consistency or composition ("heterogeneous") on imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans. This type of lesion can be caused by a variety of factors including inflammation, infection, or tumor growth. Further evaluation and testing are usually needed to determine the underlying cause of the lesion.

A follicular lesion of the thyroid is a broad term used to describe a variety of thyroid nodules or growths that arise from thyroid follicles. These lesions can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and further testing, such as a biopsy, is often needed to determine the nature of the lesion.

An ovoid lesion is a lesion that is egg-shaped. There are many studies linking these lesions to diseases like multiple sclerosis.
It all depends on what the lesion is made of and where it is on the spine. A benign lesion is non-cancerous whereas a malignant lesion is cancerous.Lesions can be defined according to the patterns they form. Lesions can also be categorized by their size. A gross lesion is one that can be seen with the naked eye. A microscopic or histologic lesion requires the magnification of a microscope to be seen.
