What Does this abdominal Ultrasound Result Mean?
Abdominal ultrasound recently, to wit; The liver is homogeneous in echotexture althrough of increased echogenicity likely due to fatty infiltration. Hypoechoic area is seen in the left hepatic lobe measuring 3.2 x 1.5 cm. The lesion has a tubular shape rather than a masslike appearance. Please explain what it means. Thanks
