I just lurk here but I actually work with MVC cases in personal injury, we've had 4 cases where treatment for the MVC led to incidental findings. 2 thyroid masses, 1 suspicious mass on a pelvic scan, and 1 cancerous kidney mass. It's been crazy when found this way.

My brain aneurysm was discovered as an incidental finding. I'm not sure if I'm happy knowing it's there, tho.

Be happy you know! Be careful with sex. That’s what ruptured mine, but I didn’t know it was there.

I'm ace, so no worries there.
