Question 1

what is large mixed echogenic mass?

Accepted Answer

Difficult to say: Sounds like an ultrasound report maybe.  It may mean that there is a mass with some solid and some cystic (fluid-filled component). It depends on the modality of the test (ultrasound or ct) and the location as to the diagnostic significance.  Please discuss with the doctor who ordered the test and maybe resubmit this question and include more relevant information to get a good answer.

Question 2

i can feel a large hard mass on my tummy underneath my ribs?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Normal, healthy people do not have a "hard mass" in their tummies. A "hard mass" anywhere in the tummy needs an evaluation by a doctor. One's primary care doctor is the best place to start. Underneath the ribs, a mass could be the liver or spleen, or something inside the liver or inside the spleen.

Question 3

can pneumonia cause a large mass?

Accepted Answer

Depends on wording..: Interpretations of chest imaging studies like ct scans often include words like "mass".  This may simply mean there is a large abnormality.  This could very well be pneumonia, especially if patient is sick.  In this case, you will need repeat chest studies in a few weeks to make sure this "mass" is gone.  If it's still there then the patient may need further testing.

Question 4

could "mass" often mean relatively larger and irregular-shaped growths, while lumps are round-shaped smaller ones?

Accepted Answer

In medicine: "masses" and "lumps" are used interchangeably

(and we seldom use the latter (lump) except in certain surgeries ( eg: "lumpectomy")

Hope this helps

A benign tumor?: Benign neoplasms of the liver are usually slow-growing (they appear relatively stable in size on sequential liver imaging) isolated space-occupying structures that are not expected to turn into cancer.  Examples include: cysts, focal nodular hyperplasia, hemangiomas, adenomas, cholangiomas, cystadenomas, mesenchymal hamartomas. Giant (&gt;4cm) tumors can cause mass effect, thrombosis, pain.
