Question 1

what causes stomach nodules and stomach lesions?

Accepted Answer

Stomach issues: Not sure what stomach lesions and nodules are. If you had a study like upper endoscopy where the abnormalities were detected, then, let us know exactly what it says. If it is something you feel, you need to be more descriptive as to what's going on.

Question 2

small nodule on left side of stomach. hurts a little, like a pulled muscle. ?

Accepted Answer

Possible hernia: A hernia is a tear in the abdominal muscle. If you have one on your left side then it would show up as a bump in this area and might feel like a pulled muscle. Hernias need to be repaired surgically. Please have an evaluation by your medical doctor to determine what is going on and best course of treatment.

Question 3

endoscopy done for severe pain in chest/upper stomac. biopsied 1cm nodule in stomach and have spastic esophagus. what causes this ? 45 yrs old.

Accepted Answer

Pain: One cause to be considered is reflux esophagitis which can be treated with appropriate ppi therapy.Also to be considered is esophagesl motility disorders such as achalasia and diffuse esophageal spasm  which are also readily ttreated.I would suggest you have an esophageal motility study and or a pH monitiring study which can diferentiate these disorders.

Question 4

in oct i had a ct scan  of my stomach and they  seen several nodules  that were 5 mm  my ins co denied  the  ct referal on my lungs i have shortness?

Accepted Answer

Ask your doc: The doctor who referred you for the original ct scan should be able to communicate with the insurance company to follow up on the "nodules." if you did not have a referral originally, ask your doctor about the findings and they should assist you anyway.

Question 6

Question 7

daughter had egd with abnormal mucosa and nodules in stomach. what is the possible diagnosis?  also how common is stomach cancer in children?

Accepted Answer

Very rare!: Stomach cancer is very rare in children. Only  the personal physician or the specialist who did the test can give a correct information.

Question 8

gastric nodule results. stomach, pyloric nodule biopsy: moderate chronic inactive gastritis with reactive foveolar hyperplasia and intestinal metaplasia. no h pylori or dysplasia identified. is this a benign condition and do i need treatment?

Accepted Answer

: Since metaplasia can morph into dysplasia which is a precursor to cancer, I'd like you to get more advice from your gastroenterologist or even an abdominal surgeon regarding any further testing,best treatment and type of follow-up needed. Chronic inactive gastritis is confusing to me and sounds like an oxymoron.

Question 9

6 months ago several lung solid and ground glass nodules were seen during a stomach ct.  the largest is 7mm.  i just had another ct and the largest is still 7mm.  it is lobulated in the upper right lung.  should this be biopsied or retest?

Accepted Answer

: Since there has been no change in 6 month it is unlikely anything needs to be done but you should discuss this with your doctor.

Question 10

what's an itchy nodule in upper abdomen?

Accepted Answer

It's difficult to: Diagnose without seeing the actual nodule. It could be a boil, a wart , a sebaceous/ fatty cyst, a lipoma/ fatty tumor with inflammation or eczema on top. Only your dr can give u an accurate diagnosis. Take care!
