Problem description: Condition description (time of onset, main symptoms, symptom changes, etc.): My father was 69 years old and was diagnosed with lung cancer in January 2020, and had a pet-ct before surgery (no calf) , Only the lungs have lesions, so in April 2020, the right lower lobectomy was performed at the Second Thoracic Surgery of Xiangya Affiliated Department. After the operation, the targeted drugs have been taken (passed genetic testing). No abnormalities were found. During the reexamination in February 2021, an enhanced chest CT was performed, and there was no abnormality. It was found in mid-April that there was a suspected mass in the right calf, and there was pain in walking or sitting for a long time. I went to the hospital for examination. The color Doppler ultrasound showed a 50*42*39 hypoechoic mass, with clear borders, regular morphology, and abundant blood flow signals. What is the probability of this malignant tumor? Did the previous lung cancer cells have metastasized? Have you ever been to the hospital for medical treatment: Have not been to the current medication Description: No medication, previous medical history and operation history: None
Date of question: 2021-04-27
Patient information :Age: 69 years old, Gender: Male
Problem analysis: More than 1 year after surgery for right lower lung cancer, a space-occupying lesion of the right lower limb appeared during targeted therapy. To clarify the nature of the mass.
Guiding suggestions: 1) After lung cancer surgery, it is recommended to continue to see a doctor in the oncology department. 2) The nature of the mass cannot be determined based on the current examination results. If you want to clarify the diagnosis, you can consider a local enhanced CT scan first. 3) If CT still cannot confirm the diagnosis, local ultrasound-guided needle biopsy and pathological examination can be considered. 4) If you don’t wear it again, you can use targeted therapy for 3 months.
