Specifically, Krukenberg's tumor is a metastasis of stomach cancer to the ovary. Probably the name of the guy that first described it. Pancoast tumor is a tumor in the apex of the lungs. It's just one of those "let's name this for a person to confuse everyone" things.

So basically, your child has just been diagnosed with a neoplasm and you're thinking about suing the doctor presumably  for economic purposes. wow.\n\n////\n\nTo reply again: you're saying they misdiagnosed.  have you referred the child to another pool of doctors who drew another diagnose? is there no paraclinical evidence (cat,  rm scans, biopsing, etc) to back the original diagnosis?\n\nbasically, you're saying the neurologist drew the diagnosis out of thin air.

Wikipedia has an article on Turcot syndrome here.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turcot_syndrome\n\nIt also has an article on medulloblastoma and brain tumours generally.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medulloblastoma\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_tumor\n\nE-Medicine has information on medulloblastoma.\nhttp://www.emedicine.com/neuro/topic624.htm\n\nThe US National Cancer Institute has a page on medulloblastoma.\nhttp://www.cancer.gov/cancerinfo/pdq/treatment/childmedulloblastoma/patient\n\nIf you or a loved one has it, you have my best wishes.

Obviously, you need to see a doctor, but I see acoustic neuromas more frequently now when I do a MRI for the reasons your described.  These are not cancer, but benign tumors, and the research has shown that cell phone use increases the risk for developing them!\n\nYou can read about acoustic neuromas here:\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/acoustic-neuroma/HQ00182\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_neuroma\n\nRead about their link to cell phones here:  http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/10/14/health/main649429.shtml\nhttp://news.com.com/Study+links+cell+phones,+tumors/2100-1039_3-5409531.html

All lumps are not cancer. That might even be a small hydrocoele(fluid in your ball-due to trauma) Sometimes even a lipoma or sebaceous cyst may be there Dont worry about the terms though tey may appear terrifyng they are benign.Go to your surgeon . They would let you know

Out of curiosity, was this found on a CT scan or MRI?\n\nMeningiomas represent about 15 percent of all primary brain tumors and 12 percent of all spinal cord tumors. They can occur in children, but most often occur in adults between the ages of 40 and 60 years. Most meningiomas are benign, as less than 10 percent of meningiomas are malignant.\n\nWhat is a meningioma?\nA meningioma is a brain tumor that grows in the meninges, a thin layer of tissue covering the brain and spinal cord. Some meningiomas contain cysts or calcified mineral deposits, and others contain hundreds of tiny blood vessels. Because meningiomas tend to grow inward, they commonly cause pressure on the brain or spinal cord. Although less common, meningiomas can grow outward, causing the skull to thicken. Meningiomas grow very slowly, and it is often many years before they become symptomatic.

Based on the term alone, I would say it is a tumor (not necessarily cancerous), or some other growth on both adrenal glands.  Bilateral = both sides, adrenal = glands on top of kidneys.  If it is appearing on BOTH kidneys, it seems paradoxical to what you would typically see in cancer.  I'm curious to know for certain what it is, though.

http://www.meddean.luc.edu/Lumen/meded/Radio/curriculum/Surgery/renal_cancer_list.htm  \n\nThis is a good link. Go to it. It's cancer. Renal cyst. If you have this you really need to read this. You can even simply type in Renal Calcified Mass in your tool bar and it will lead you to sites that say Renal Cancer.

He has a brain tumor.

I'm a neurologist. Horner's syndrome describes a physical finding and not a disease process. It has 3 components: meiosis - which is a small pupil; ptosis - which is drooping of the eyelid; and anhydrosis - which is the absence of sweating.\n\nIt can occur in benign, meaning non-life threatening issues such as cluster headaches where there is transient dysfunction of the parasympatheic nerves\n\nIt can occur in emergeny situations such as dissection of the carotid artery. The nerves travel along that artery and tearing of the artery affects those nerves.\n\nThe most common circumstance is in lung cancer. Many lung cancers start at the apex - the top of the lung - these same parasympathetic nerves travel out from the spinal cord onto the nerves just on top of the lungs leaving them vulnerable to compression by tumor.

yeah, a brain tumor can do just about anything to you. make you hallucinate and see things, do things, lose senses, lose movement, etc.

Hi\n\nThe answers, very good ones (including bibliography) you can get in this place.\n\nhttp://www.dizziness-and-balance.com/disorders/tumors/acoustic_neuroma.htm\n\nBetter than me writing.\n\nLittle resume\n\n1) Acoustic neuromas, also known as vestibular schwannomas, are non-malignant tumors of the 8th cranial nerve.\n\n2)"unfortunately the chance of hearing being preserved after acoustic neuroma surgery is slight. Nedzelski and colleagues recently reported that only about 16% of patients had "serviceable" hearing in the follow up interval after "hearing preservation surgery". (Lin et al, 2005). While hearing may be "preserved" immediately after surgery, it usually deteriorates in most within a few years.\n\nRegards\n\nDr Ajedrez

Have it checked out.  Could be a benign tumor called lipoma.  It is just a fatty tumor and can be easily removed.
