What Could A Lytic Lesion At The Skull Be?
Question: Hi Doc, I have attached my CT. Could you explain the lyte measurements they have described. They said everything looked good but when I seen the report I notice this one thing with measurements and a change since 2008. pleaee help explain Thanks
Brief Answer:
Probably a benign lesion, no treatment is needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I also reviewed the CT scan report. Through the CT report I see that there is only a lytic lesion of the skull. Lytic lesions are light areas on an x-ray, which suggest that something has destroyed or replaced that part of the bone.
Based on the fact that there is no other significant change, we can think that the cause can be a benign lesion. The common cause can be trauma . In my opinion there is no need for treatment.
I suggest regular follow ups with your doctor for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
