Could It Be Cancer If Having Lesions In Periaortic Lymph Nodes And On Liver?

my CT found a 2.1cm low attenuation lesion at the right adnexa, prominent periaortic lymph nodes, and a 1.2cm lesion on the right lobe of my liver exhibiting peripheral nodular enhancement. I also have some kind of papalnoma/growth between my left tonsil and uvula that will be getting biopsied soon. Do any of these findings link together? Is it possible I have some kind of cancer?

Hi. Lesion in adnexa with prominent lymph nodes and liver lesion is definitely reason for concern and needs to be thoroughly investigated. Suspicion of index for malignancy (cancer) should be high. Papilloma between left tonsil and uvula may be benign but should be biopsied.
You have not mentioned your age and why the CT scan was done. What symptoms were you experiencing.
History would be very important in your case. A thorough physical examination to see if there are any palpable lymph nodes or mass that can be biopsied easily. If no mass or lymph node is palpable then a needle biopsy of adnexal mass under image (Ultrasound or CT scan) should be done. Tumor markers including serum CA-125 and serum CEA would be helpful. You can discuss it with your doctor.
If you have any further query I would be more than happy to answer. Thank you for choosing Healthcare Magic.
