These are imaging terms that radiologists use to describe a picture.

Inhomogeneous means that the whole mass does not look the same; the best I can describe is that it looks speckled. For example, a cyst that is filled with fluid will be homogeneous. Every part of what's inside the cyst will look identical, because it's just fluid in there. If the mass is made of different parts, of different densities, then it will appear inhomogenous, or heterogenous, on imaging.

Enhancing means that the mass brightens up with contrast, meaning that there is a lot of blood vessels feeding the mass. (this can sometimes be seen with cancer)
