How important is a notation of a possible adenoma?


I had an abdominal ct scan.One notation was a small adenoma on an adrenal gland, but my Dr has not said any thing to me about it.
I do have a personal and family history of Cancer

In same ct report was :mild hepatomegaly(right lobe measures 21.5 cm in length/20 cm AP) low density focus in cranial aspect(sm.cysy?)
Left adrenal is nodular(lateral limbinferiorty,
Left kidney-low density focus.
probably a cyst.
Also an umbilical hernia(repaired 9/5)
numeruos diviticli in descending colon.
Should I be worried?

Important enough to revisit explicitly with your physician, including a review of your oncology history. It might be a matter of no concern, but given your history, the anxiety your question displays is reasonable. Follow up with the physician; don't wait for the doctor to identify issues; feel empowered to ask yourself.

your doctor should say "something" don't worry, repeat cat scan, do some blood tests, good luck

I would definitely ask your doctor about it. An adenoma is tumor on your gland.
