Can Extra Mucosal Duodenal Wall Thickening Be Symptom Of Cancer?
I recently had a CAT Scan that revealed extra mucosal duodenal wall thickening. I have spasms, pain directly below my ribs on the right side. I can also feel some type of lump or mass. I"m scheduled for additional testing next week (endoscopy). Should I be concerned this is cancer. All of my bloods, liver function, etc are normal.
