We report a rare case of cholesterol granuloma involving the second rib of a 38-year-old-woman who presented with a slowly growing lesion of the anterior aspect of the chest. Copyright 2013 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In the present patient remarkable effect on rib tumor was observed after administration of IMiDs. These novel treatments should be tried before surgical resection. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

In this study, we compare the present patient with these two patients, with a review of the literature. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

• Chest Wall Pain

  Consider the diagnosis if patients have a chest mass or unexplained chest wall pain, with or without fever. Diagnose chest wall tumors with imaging, followed by biopsy. [merckmanuals.com]

• Rib Tenderness

  Because the lump has gotten bigger and you are experiencing increasing rib tenderness, it's time to go back to the doctor. I'm not sure why you are sure that this could not be a sebaceous cyst. [healthcentral.com]

• Abdominal Pain

  Abstract The symptoms and signs of the primary rib tumors are fairly uniform: thoracic, sometimes shoulder or pleuritic, rarely abdominal, pain and localized swelling. [link.springer.com]

  Once a tumor has penetrated or perforated hollow viscera, acute inflammation of the peritoneum appears, inducing severe abdominal pain. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Headache

  […] to the development of post-dural-puncture headache (PDPH) hours or days later. [en.wikipedia.org]

  My migraine headaches stopped, but the doctors said that was only a coincidence and that migraines and carotid body tumors were not related. My health remained stable for years to come. In 1990, my father found a tumor in his neck. [pheoparatroopers.org]

In these cases, I try to avoid including the entire rib thickness in the expanded treatment volume. Any other recommendations? Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution I agree with Thomas. [themednet.org]

The prognosis of this disease is controversial. But Stepan thought that PGMCTB had a high survival rate of 50-70% ( 5 ). [jtd.amegroups.com]

PROGNOSIS Biological Behavior • Benign tumor • Monostotic lesions have good prognosis • Polyostotic lesions tend to be more active or aggresive • Recurrence following curettage is common particularly when bone grafting the defect with autologous bone [tumorsurgery.org]

The prognosis (outlook) depends on the degree of local tumor replacement and the extent of liver function impairment. Primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) is the most common cancer in some parts of the world. [medicinenet.com]

Prognosis varies by cancer type, cell differentiation, and stage; firm conclusions are limited by the low incidence of any given tumor. Sarcomas have been the most well studied, and primary chest wall sarcomas have a reported 5-yr survival of 17%. [merckmanuals.com]

What Is the Prognosis for Pancoast Tumors? In the past, Pancoast tumors were considered inoperable and incurable because of their relative inaccessibility and extensive invasion of nearby tissues and structures. [emedicinehealth.com]

A 30-year-old female consulted our hospital with right thoracic pain without etiological factors. At the 9th rib, pressure pain was noted and was exacerbated during movement. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

Aflatoxin has also been implicated as a factor in the etiology (causation) of primary liver cancer in parts of the world where this mycotoxin- that is a toxic substance which comes from a mold - occurs in high levels in food. [medicinenet.com]

My question is which lipomas should I remove first, the grapefruit size under my rib cage, the many on my arms that prevent movement or the ones on both legs that prevent driving walking or sitting. I am afraid of needles. [realself.com]
