Hi! My Mom took a whole abdominal CT scan with triple contrast last April 26, 2018. The impression says: 'Hepatomegaly with moderate fatty infiltration. Hyperdense masses at both liver lobes, with a known primary. This represents metastases'. My Mom was diagnosed with a Stage IV Colon Cancer last October 2017, she already undergone 7 chemotherapies.
All other organs were clear based on the exam except that the liver is enlarged with fatty infiltration and hyperdense masses are noted such as:
(1) At segment 4 measuring 2.50x1.58x3.50cm;
(2) At segment 6 measuring 1.81x1.72x4.0cm;
(3) At segment 7 measuring 1.91x1.72x4.0cm;
(4) At the junction of segment 7 and 8 measuring 1.80x1.66x4.0cm
I am so worried as I emcountered the words 'Metastases' and 'Masses'. What does the impression means?
