Question 1

dxd costochondritis 7months blood and xray fine, would rib tumor or cancer show up on the xray? cant stop anxiety. very small breasts no lumps.

Accepted Answer

Cancer: There is very little chance of any kind of tumor and it would certainly show if present. Costochondritis is very common and easy to treat. Good Luck

Question 2

what are the symptoms of an abdominal tumor under rib ?

Accepted Answer

Tumor Sxs: Symptoms (Sxs) of an abdominal tumor are usually absent unless the tumor grows greatly in size.  An abdominal tumor in the upper abdomen and deep to a rib would be unusual unless the patient had bulky disease (for example due to a primary liver tumor) .  A key issue here is the physical exam and if any question then imaging (radiology) studies to rule out the presence of a tumor.

Question 3

i have double normal cortisol blood level, have burning pain under my ribs and on left side near umbilicus.  could these symptoms be of adrenal tumor?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Blood cortisol varies considerably throughout the day, so a single value does not mean much.  A cortisol-producing adrenal tumor is rare.  Pain from an adrenal tumor would more likely cause back pain, if it caused pain at all.  See your doctor, but this is unlikely to be an adrenal tumor.

Question 4

if one had symptoms of pancoast tumor. would it have shown up on a chest xray.

Accepted Answer

Pancoast tumor: It is a function of size. Small apical or pancoast tumors can be missed on x-rays but once their size becomes large, then a chest x-ray should be able to detect them.

Question 5

i'm 42 non smoker have had chest discomfort. if your having symptoms of lung cancer would the tumor be big enough to be seen on a xray?

Accepted Answer

Lung tumors: generally are symptomatic only when the reach a size picked up by ROUTINE chest x ray THAT's PRECISELY WHY regular chest films are NOT a great tool for early Diagnosis of lung cancer!  Lung CT scan with CONTRAST is THE most effective x ray exam for this purpose!

Hope this helps

Question 6

i'm 42 non smoker have had chest discomfort. if your having symptoms of lung cancer would the tumor be big enough to be seen on a xray? i did have a c

Accepted Answer

Chest discomfort: of any type needs to be evaluated by your doctor.  Please see him/her and the doc can order whatever tests may be needed if need be.  There are lots of possibilities and cancer is low on the list of them.  Peace and good health.

Question 7

is chest pain a common symptom of lung cancer if cancer is causing pain how big would a tumor have to be and what is the likelihood of showing on xray?

Accepted Answer

Here is my guidance: Chest pain can be caused from many causes, lung cancer is not the first thing that should come to your mind. If the pain has been present for more than one week and your concern is cancer,  a Chest X-ray will show it easily. But you should go see a doctor first in case your pain is persistent for &gt;1 week..

Question 8

i have a weird feeling on my right side of my rib. i am not sure what it could be. an air bubble or a tumor. feeling behind the rib.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely serious: Given your young age, assuming no recent trauma, I doubt that this is anything serious; certainly not an air bubble or cancerous tumor. It is possible you developed some focal irritation of the intercostal muscles between the ribs.  Depending on the location, you might have developed floating rib syndrome.  Try rest and ibuprofen or naproxen.  See a clinician if your symptoms persist or worsen.

Question 9

what can cause a tumor under my left-upper rib?

Accepted Answer

Several lesions: If a lesion is palpable under the left rib cage the origin is most likely abdominal in origin ranging from  an enlarged spleen to a palpable lesion  of splenic flexure of colon.  In addition several retroperitoneal masses such as the giant schwannoma and an extensive non functional pheo of left adrenal can be palpated.  Left upper rib is covered by left clavicle.

Question 10

are there any known types of tumors that sit on top the bone on the side rib cage?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: Osteoma is one type of bone tumor that could meet the criteria you put forth. If you have a lump on your rib cage, it would be prudent to see a doctor.
