A gastric diverticulum is a “pouch” formed when there is a weak part in the stomach wall. This can be congenital (from birth) or acquired, usually from a past injury like a stomach ulcer.
Hepatic steatosis, commonly referred to as “fatty liver,” occurs when too much fat accumulates in the liver. The most common causes of excess liver fat are alcohol intake and a poor diet (highly processed foods such as sugars, refined grains, fried foods, desserts and snack foods contribute the most to this).
Hepatic adenoma is an uncommon, benign (non-cancerous) liver lesion. It has been associated with the use of estrogen-containing medications (e.g. oral contraceptives), anabolic steroids, obesity, metabolic syndrome (e.g. diabetes), and certain genetic syndromes. Hepatic adenomas may be asymptomatic (do not cause symptoms) or may cause symptoms of right upper abdominal pain, nausea, and the sensation of feeling full.
Sometimes a specific portion of the liver can have more fat than normal. It is unclear what causes this finding, but changes in blood flow has been a suggested cause. Sometimes hepatic focal fat can be related to hepatic steatosis (“fatty liver”), which is when excess fat is present throughout the entire liver.
Hematosalpinx describes a collection of blood in a fallopian tube, which can be from a previous injury or infection, most commonly from a tubal pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis. A hematosalpinx may be asymptomatic (does not cause symptoms) or may be the cause of abdominal/pelvic pain, vaginal/uterine bleeding and infertility.
The obturator internus (OI) is a hip muscle that originates deep within the pelvis and attaches to the head of the femur (the top of the thigh bone that inserts into your hip). Ganglion cysts are non-cancerous, fluid-filled lumps that can develop around joints and tendons in any part of the body, particularly the hand and wrist. Symptoms, if any, depend on the size and location of the cyst, and can include pain, numbness, tingling, weakness or trouble with joint movement.
