A member asked:
Skinny male but noticed my belly is pretty huge and round, sticks out. any worry it could be cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Most skinny people do not have protruding abdomen. If no history of new symptoms probably not cancer but should be checked by LMD to see if distention due to any ascites, mass or distended bowel. If CAT scan and physical negative then no concern about cancer
