Accepted Answer

Exam NOW appropriate: You have localized your problem to the peri-anal area. The "circle mass" you describe (sorry, we can't see the picture you posted) is worrisome, &amp; by your description does NOT sound hemorrhoidal (hemorrhoids are typically not circumferential).  Please ask your doctor to examine the area ASAP.

2 to 2.5 inches.: The word "mass" is typically used to describe a solid growth.  One that is 6 cm would measure approximately 2 to 2.5 inches in size.  The color, consistency and borders of the mass would be different depending upon the make up of the mass (infectious/inflammatory process versus benign tumor versus malignant tumor).

Question 7

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 8

what could a 3cm. mass on kidney be.

Accepted Answer

Mass in kidney: To find out what the mass is, you need to see a urologist. For a mass this size, < 4 cm, 20-30% are non-cancerous. You will need to get a biopsy of this mass in order to get tissue from it to arrive at a diagnosis. A urologist can obtain the biopsy from your kidney. If it is malignant, then an oncologist will be the physician to manage the problem.
