This sounds like our radiologist friends have just started to be able to see normal variations of normal anatomy and don't know whjat they are seeing. I would have scoped her instead of getting CT and MRI. Now that you have them, I would still scope her and see if she has endometriosis. If so, you can treat that. If not, you can tell her that she does NOT have cancer or other life threatening disease. Frequently, this is all that the patient needs to be able to come to grips with whatever is going on. And ever so frequently, we don't have the courage or whatever that is need ed to tell her this.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
