[|Human|] I am having testing done right now and during the testing they found a black spot on my aorta.  that is all I was told and my doctor has told me that she knows what it is, but seems to be backing off from contact.  She hasnt order me to see a heart doctor.  What would the black spot be?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, it is calcified or scarred plaque like structure. Black spot on CT is mostly due to dead, scarred tissue. Aorta is likely to have scar or calcification. So these benign lesions are more likely in your case. Your doctor didn't bother too much about this and he didn't call cardiologist, so no need to worry about major illness. Such black spots are mostly due to scarring and calcification. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
