Abdominal CT scan with Vertical Linear Tubular Structure??

Hello Everyone, This is my first time posting on this sub and I was hoping to get a little insight on my recent abdominal CT scan. The report was clear except for an impression. Per the report: "There is dilated tubular linear vertical structure on the right side of the inferior vena cave. This is of unknown etiology. Follow-up with contrast enhanced CT is recommended. Impression: A vertical linear tubular structure on the right side of the inferior vena save of uncertain etiology. Follow-up with contrast-enhanced CT is recommended." I'm not sure what to make of this, the Dr that went over my results said there is something there that needs further clarification. I understand the need for further review and scheduled the contrast CT, I just wish I had some more info. Anyone out there that has seen similar wording or understand what the radiologist meant? Dr said it could have been an error as well. The reason I had the CT scan is due to my abdominal troubles this year, and a constant right side pressure/cramping that hasn't gone away. It makes me think it isn't an artifact since its said its to the right. I also had an abdominal MRI done in July and it had no mention of this. I understand giving any kind of advice on what I wrote is difficult but any guidance is appreciated. Its been a long year dealing with several issues and I guess I'd like to be a little more informed if it all possible. Waiting for a new scan and being in limbo is no fun. Thank you for taking the time! Below is a snippet of the report. ​ https://preview.redd.it/lhvmdonazk8a1.png?width=783&format=png&auto=webp&s=090df3016a6e9a4e95cb153cd8609a3200edd709 submitted by /u/Phoenix_Rising_22 [link] [comments]
