The endometrium (the innermost lining of the uterus) is heterogeneous when it does not have the same appearance throughout. Endometrial hyperplasia (EH) is a thickening of the endometrium caused by an overgrowth of endometrial cells. This is typically a result of a hormone imbalance in which there is increased exposure to estrogen. Causes include perimenopause or menopause, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), obesity, or medications (e.g. hormone replacement therapy or birth control).

The endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus. A cyst is a sac-like pocket of membranous tissue that contains fluid, air, or other substances. Cysts can grow almost anywhere in the body. There are many different types of cysts. Most cysts are benign (non-cancerous). Whether a cyst needs treatment depends on a number of factors, including the type of cyst, the location, if the cyst is causing pain or discomfort, and whether the cyst is infected.

Small amounts of fluid in the endometrium is a normal finding. This could also be due to menstruation.

An enlarged ovary is an ovary that has expanded past its normal size. The cause of this enlargement is usually cyst formation. Other causes include endometriosis, benign tumors and, rarely, ovarian cancer. Each month, the ovaries normally grow cyst-like structures called follicles. These follicles produce the hormones estrogen and progesterone and release an egg during ovulation. Sometimes numerous follicles can be a finding consistent with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), or it could be from a regular, normal menstrual cycle

Enchondromas are benign cartilage-forming tumors that develop in the marrow cavity of long bones. They account for approximately 3% of benign bone tumors.The signs and symptoms vary depending upon the anatomic site, extent, and distribution of involvement. Most enchondromas are asymptomatic (do not cause symptoms) unless a fracture is present or impending. They often are incidental findings (found in passing when looking for something else).

The basilar artery is a blood vessel located at the back of the brain. It supplies oxygen-rich blood to portions of the brain and central nervous system. Ectasia of the basilar artery is a dilation of the artery that is not defined as an aneurysm (an abnormal bulge or dilation that occurs in the wall of the blood vessel). Ectasia of the basilar artery may be a marker for a high risk of stroke. Symptoms, if present, are related to compression of nearby cranial nerves or brain structures and may include headache and visual disturbances, including vision loss.
