Hi doctor, My ultrasound report showed well-defined anechoic lesion measuring 3.9 cm in length and 1.6 cm width in the lower abdomen of the 18 weeks fetus. No echoes are seen within it. It is showing peristalsis. Stomach and gall bladder visualized. No evidence of ascites. Abnormal wall intact. Kidneys and bladder appeared normal. Please clarify the lesion. I have attached the report for your reference.
Hello. I have been through the report posted (attachment removed to protect patient identity). An anechoic lesion defines a lesion that is clear and simple that means, the cyst visualised is a simple cyst. Ther are some cysts like a mesenteric cyst, omental cyst or neuroblastoma ovarian cysts in female fetus and so on. Showing peristaltic movements and its location intra-abdominally makes enteric duplication cyst as the most probable diagnosis (rare congenital abnormality in gastrointestinal tract). The good thing is that it is not associated with any other anomalies. What is needed now is its regular follow up and surgical excision after delivery to avoid future complications.
