Chest Lesions
I went to the doctor about 3 mths ago and they did a ct scan on me and it showed i had a 16mm lesion in the middle of my chest..What does this mean and is the size of my lesion big? And should i be worried?
The lesion is abnormal, that is for sure. There isn't an exact definition for big of a lesion because they can get bigger. This may mean your lung, breast or kidney(s) are/is inflamed. Also, this could be breast cancer, lung cancer, Wilm's tumor, chronic nephritis, neuroblastoma (highly unlikely for your age), and of course, benign tumor. I recommend taking this situation to your oncologist.
