The study is degraded by patient motion. Examination was  performed without IV contrast.  2. A large (17 cm) cyst/cystic lesion in the right lower quadrant of  the abdomen extending into the right upper pelvis, favored to  represent mesenteric lymphatic malformation (mesenteric cyst). There  are no available prior CT scans for comparison. Other less likely  possibilities include right ovarian cystic neoplasm.  3. A 7 cm mass that appears to be arising from the uterine fundus,  favored to represent a subserosal fibroid.  4. Moderate sized hiatal hernia.  5. Nonobstructing right-sided nephrolithiasis.
