Hi,
See it's not related with your 27 lbs weigh loss history. CT scan shows a lateral mass on the right side.
It may be due to the fat collection or something else which needs to be further diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. You should ask that what's the mass? how to further diagnose it? rule out cancer?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
