Hi all,

Last April I had a Mri on my liver to diagnose fatty liver but in the mri they also spotted a 4mm pancreatic tail cystic lesion.

Is this any cause of concern? They have requested a 12 month follow up. But just wondering if I should be worried?

This was the full notes from my mri.

[MRI Liver with contrast]

RI Liver with contrast

PROCEDURE: MRI Liver with contrast

HANBHAG GR/M89007

CLINICAL INDICATION: Possible liver lesion on ultrasound WMR2 MRI Liver Dotarem or Prohance Contrast

OLDSTEIN Mark (Consultant adiologist)

COMPARISON: none

ompleted + reported

FINDINGS:

Marked fatty infiltration of the liver with sparing adjacent to gallbladder fossa and further small foci within the right lobe. 5 mm segment VII T2 high-signal focus with progressive postcontrast enhancement is possibly a small haemangioma and is likely benign. No concerning focal liver lesion. Portal, hepatic veins remain patent. 4 mm pancreatic tail cystic lesion noted. No dilatation of the main pancreatic duct. Unremarkable appearances of the remaining abdominal viscera. Splenic cysts noted.

Impression:

Marked fatty infiltration of the liver with areas of sparing as described above. Likely benign and seven lesion and there is possibly a small haemangioma. No concerning focal liver lesion.

4 mm pancreatic tail cystic lesion is of uncertain clinical significance. 1-year follow-up MRI is advised.

Many thanks

i would want a follow up on my pancreas much sooner than 12 months. Get a second opinion.
