What Causes Swelling In The Chest On The Right Side?
Hi I have swelling on upper part of right chest. I am mentioning then MRI scan report below. There is evidence of a well defined lobulated STIR hyperintense/T1 hypointense mass lesion measuring 10.3 x 7.3 x 7.6 cm right upper anterior chest wall between the pectoralis minor and thoracic cage, extending to right axilla. The lesion demonstrates few internal Septations. No obvious flow void is noted within the lesion. No evidence of perilesional fat stranding. No evidence of extension to supraclavicular space. Another well defined lobulated ST1R hyperintense lesion measuring 2.8. x1 cm noted in lateral aspect of the right pectoralis major muscle. -Features likely represent benign vascular malformation, possibly lymphangioma. -Suggested HPE correlation Please suggest possible treatment. Thanks Vyshnava
The swelling in chest is a benign lesion on MRI. There is nothing to worry since the lesion is benign on MRI. The lesion needs to be removed surgically and examined histopathologically (HPE).
Histopathological examination will determine the exact nature of the the lesion.
