You had an ultrasound scan. In the process a growth of new tissue was measured.
An ultrasound examination involves sending ultrasound waves from an ultrasound probe in the body. Depending on the structure of the tissue, different numbers of ultrasound waves are reflected. These waves are then converted to images that can be viewed on a screen.
You have abnormal growth of tissue. New tissue growth is known as a tumor. Ultrasound was used to study, and precisely measure, your tumor.
