Sonographic Differential Diagnosis

Right ovarian remnant.
Elongated uterine stump.
Mammary hyperplasia or possible neoplasia. Sampling and/or mastectomy is recommended. Recommend further resection of the uterine stump to ensure that residual pathology or stump pyometra does not develop in this case along with right ovariectomy.
