Is chest rib pain lung cancer? 】

There was a patient with sternal pain to the outpatient clinic, a touch of local bone has been convex, there is blood in the sputum, immediately give him a CT, a 5cm mass on the lung from the middle of the lung to the edge of the lung, connected to the bone, not only destroyed the ribs, but also put the bone hard up, and finally diagnosed is lung squamous cell carcinoma. This is actually not a particularly common case, most patients with tumors so likely to have more serious respiratory symptoms, basically will not wait until the rib pain will come to see.

In general, lung lesions do not cause chest pain, because the lungs do not have pain nerves, chest pain is not a typical manifestation of lung cancer, only a few cases, the enlargement of the lung lesions invade some tissues around the lungs such as pleura, ribs, large blood vessels, tracheal waiting will cause chest pain, small lesions such as nodules less than 3cm, even if most of the malignant ones do not cause chest pain.

There is also a case where some lung cancers have a high degree of malignancy, the main lesion metastasis occurs at a very small size, and when it metastasizes to the ribs, it causes pain, which is relatively small.

Therefore, most of the rib pain is a problem with the ribs themselves, sometimes caused by muscle nerves around the ribs or pleural lesions on the inner surface. #Wisdom elderly chief recommendation officer ##Enjoy breathing super group ##健康过大年 #
