What Causes A Nodule In Lower Left Chest?
What is a possible nodule left lower chest anteriorly? are there any symptons? I had a chest x-ray and my x-ray showed I had some fatty tissue around my heart ..the emergency doctor said it was nothing to be concerned about....when I went to my oncologist...he has ordered for me to have a CT scan...what do you think?

Dear; thanks for using our service. First of all, if you have been followed by an. oncologist that means prior history of cancer. Most likely the oncologist ordered a CT scan to evaluate possible node envolvemenr. There is no fatty tissue that sorrounded the heart and CXR is not the test that you will get a lot of information.
The best test is the Ct.
