On one-third to one-fifth of trauma CT scans, incidental findings are discovered. They are most commonly discovered on CT scans of the abdomen/pelvis in female patients over the age of sixty.

He was evaluated in accordance with ATLS protocol and had CT scans of his head, neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Because imaging revealed a fracture of his C1 vertebrae, the patient was surgically placed in a poplar collar and admitted to the hospital. The CT scan also revealed Associate in Nursing incidental eleven cm nine. 5 cm 12.6 cm solid mass with calcification and haemorrhage displacing the bladder and thus the right external vein This mass was subjected to a CT target-hunting diagnostic test before being sent for pathological analysis. The results showed a spindle cell lesion that was positive for S-100 but negative for desmin and vimentin.
