Question 1

my aunt has an issue she has clear bumps that feel like the beans in a bean bag. they are small and on her leg and hand and under her mouth. i'm thinking it could be small tumors or cysts but i'm not sure?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests, including a biopsy. It would be prudent to see your doctor.

Question 2

i went to neurologist about small headackes back legs hands pain and weakness legs he did the tests(visstrref and said no brain tumor but i am worried?

Accepted Answer

OK, but keep a watch: It is highly unlikely you have a brain tumor at your age.  Although many young people get brain tumors, you most likely would have had it already, and if your tests said no, i would say that's ok, but if these symptoms persist, you might want to get other tests, like an ANA (anti-nuclear antibody) to help rule out some other disease, like lupus or rheumatiod arthritis.  See your dr. For more info.

Question 3

i have small headackes pain and weakness legs, back, arms, insomnia, stamach pain afraid brain tumor.went to do a neuro test strength refl vision goodhelp?

Accepted Answer

Headaches: You have a myriad of signs & sx which could represent primary neuromuscular, hypochondriacal, infectious, degenerative, or auto-immune diseases. A primary brain tumor is unlikely. It sounds like you consulted a neurologist, wi no specific findings. Are your sx episodic, periodic? Do they only occur at home? At work? Can you associate them with any specific activities? Need more information here.

Question 4

went to neuro for weakness legs pain back hands  hips almost everywhere small headackes.he did the tets (reflex etc)all good but i think brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

I suspect not.: The symptoms of a mass or tumor are usually more localized to a specific set of brain function.

Question 5

i keep having recurring tumours on my upper thighs in the inside. it starts small, grows in 2 days and then it pops open passing out whitish pus. i normally squeeze it or it opens due to legs friction when walking it dry out and another will starts?

Accepted Answer

See derm: most likely this is a folliculitis , not uncommon  in the inner upper thighs, esp in people that either shave that area or have large legs which tend to rub together together when moving. suggest see dermatologist for eval and tx. there are other clinical  entities as well, so seeing a derm would be the best thing for you.

Question 6

how does a tumor affect your leg?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on wha kind of tumor you are talking about. If you are talking about primary tumors of the leg bones, they usually cause pain, lump and limping that worsen with time.

Question 7

i had a tumor removed from my leg they never removed the extra tissue which grew around it what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Please clarify: If you mean that the bulk of the tumor caused the surrounding skin to stretch, the skin excess should be relatively easy to remove to improve the contour of the leg. Please see a surgeon certified by the american board of plastic surgery to evaluate the options for your particular situation.

Good luck!

Question 8

Tumors of: The extremity can be in the bone or soft tissue.  These are life threats.  W/u for metastasis to lung, then principle is 1. Save life; 2. Save limb; 3. Save function of limb; make it look as best as normal that you can.

Question 9

could you tell me what happens when a removed leg tumor is found to be malignant?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Where in the leg? (bone, muscle, cartilage, skin)  what kind?  (sarcoma of bone or soft tissue, squamous or basal cell cancer of the skin, melanoma)  how advanced?  Can't answer without more info.  Good luck nonetheless.

Question 10
