Suspecting any malignant tissue growth
Hello Doctor,
My mother has lost around 2 kgs in last 1 month. We did a full body scan(attached). General physician advised us to do an ultrasound looking at the report. Report said there's a soft tissue development near gall bladder. And doctor suggested MRCP. The report seems normal (benign tissue) but I wanted to double check with experts here as well please.
We'll be consulting a Oncologist today and I'll update results here.
Best Regards,
Prabhu
