So jump to now! I had an ultra sound dec 10 and they found the following
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Echoic mass in abdominal and chest wall is more suggestive of cancerous growth. Size (5.4*3.6) of the mass is also more. So possibility of rhabdomyosarcoma (muscle tumor) or bone tumor is more in your case. So MRI is needed to confirm the malignant nature and to know the extension in the deeper and adjacent structures. You will also need fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC FNAC) or Biopsy from the mass to identify the type of cancer. You may need excision Biopsy and chemotherapy after confirmation of diagnosis. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
