Ascending aortic aneurysm follow-up. CHEST:LUNGS AND PLEURA: Evaluation of the pulmonary parenchyma is limited. Small pulmonary nodules and micronodules better visualized on 12/18/2014 CT.MEDIASTINUM AND HILA: The ascending thoracic aorta measures 4.4 x 4.4 cm at the level of the main pulmonary artery, unchanged from the 9/22/2015 exam when analogous measurement technique used. The main pulmonary artery measures 2.8 in diameter, unchanged. The remainder of the thoracic aorta is unremarkable.CHEST WALL: There is an enhancing nodule within the left breast (series 1501, image 9) which measures 1.5 x 1.4 cm.UPPER ABDOMEN: Redemonstration of asymmetric wall thickening at the level of the gastroesophageal junction not significantly changed compared to multiple prior examinations.Partially imaged small area of increased balance signal within segment 4A of the liver which is favored to reflect partially imaged branch of the portal vein based on comparison with prior studies.Status post cholecystectomy.
1.Aneurysmal dilatation of the ascending aorta without significant interval change compared to prior exam dated 9/22/2015.2.Enhancing nodule within the left breast suspicious for neoplasm. Diagnostic mammography is recommended for further evaluation. Findings discussed with A.P.N Carlson at time of dictation.
