History of retroperitoneal fibrosis, evaluate for disease recurrence PELVIS:UTERUS, ADNEXA: Fibroid uterus, leiomyomas measure up to approximately 1.3 cm, endometrial complex normal in size.BLADDER: No significant abnormality noted.LYMPH NODES: Small subcentimeter bilateral external iliac lymph nodes.BOWEL, MESENTERY: No significant abnormality noted.BONES, SOFT TISSUES: No significant abnormality noted.OTHER: Mild circumferential mildly enhancing soft tissue signal in region of distal abdominal aorta, beyond level of origin of inferior mesenteric artery and extending to level of common iliac bifurcation, associated restricted diffusion present (image 101 series 9). In distal abdominal aortic area, signal abnormality appears to encircle aorta approximately 180 degrees or less. This area described was not imaged in its entirety on prior 4/10/14 exam but demonstrates significant improvement since earlier 12/28/12 outside MRI, for example, portion of thickening previously measuring up to 6 mm now measures 3 mm.
1. Circumferential soft tissue signal in aortobiiliac area as described, corresponding to patient's history of retroperitoneal fibrosis.
