This is all to complicated for me to understand. Dr didn't really explain it

Sorry edit to add. This is a ultrasound, for a lump on my sons back, keep getting told it's a lipoma, I went n got ultrasound done

"benign" - doesn't look like a cancer
"indeterminate" - can't give it a precise description (ideally in Latin) just from these pictures
"interval follow-up" - do the scan again to see if it's changed
"as clinically indicated" - but you could do without the repeat scan if doctor/family aren't worried overall

(ultrasound can't always distinguish between lipomas and other types of benign growth in the skin, you can tell from a tissue sample but the benefits of that don't justify the risk, even though the risk is small)

Very few UK doctors are "MD", where was this scan done? It's usually the responsibility of doctors requesting imaging to explain the result in terms the patient can relate to.

There's no law says you have to but I'd recommend removing the doctor's name from the image.
