A lung nodule or pulmonary nodule is a relatively small focal density in the lung. A solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) or coin lesion, [1] is a mass in the lung smaller than three centimeters in diameter. A pulmonary micronodule has a diameter of less than three millimetres. [2] There may also be multiple nodules. One or more lung nodules can be ...
Uncommon breast cancer symptoms The most common symptom of breast cancer is a new lump or mass, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). However, the ACS stresses that most breast lumps are ...
The FDA rule mandating women be notified of their breast density is the result of intense lobbying by women who found champions in state and federal legislators to get laws introduced and passed.
A breast mass, also known as a breast lump, is a localized swelling that feels different from the surrounding tissue. [1] Breast pain , nipple discharge , or skin changes may be present. [ 1 ] Concerning findings include masses that are hard, do not move easily, are of an irregular shape, or are firmly attached to surrounding tissue.
A lung nodule is a discrete opacity in the lung which may be caused by: Neoplasm: benign or malignant; Granuloma: tuberculosis; Infection: round pneumonia; Vascular: infarct, varix, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, rheumatoid arthritis; There are a number of features that are helpful in suggesting the diagnosis: rate of growth
Metastatic lesions from breast cancer may produce symptoms according to that organ system. The most common sites for metastasis are the bone, lung, liver, and brain. [ 17 ] Skin metastases most commonly extend to the skin overlying the mass, but may spread to the axilla or more distant areas. [ 18 ]
MSCs typically develop as ductal breast tumors that have invaded the tissue around their ducts of origin, may have spread to nearby sentinel lymph nodes or axillary lymph nodes but have rarely metastasized (i.e. spread) to distant tissues. [6] They are usually small, slow-growing, painless, [5] well-circumscribed, movable breast masses. [4]
Parenchymal hamartoma of the lung. The surrounding lung falls away from the well-circumscribed mass, a typical feature of these lesions. The hamartoma shows a variegated yellow and white appearance, which corresponds respectively to fat and cartilage. About 5–8% of all solitary lung nodules and about 75% of all benign lung tumors, are ...
