What Is The Diagnosis If There Is Tenderness, Swelling In The Upper Right Abdomen In A Patient Suffering From Lichen Ruber?

my husband is afraid he might have colon cancer. He has tenderness and a feeling of swelling in the upper right abdomen. So far he did all the cancer blood markers, which where negative, and an accurate ultrasound, which showed kidneys, bladder, liver etc and found no anomalies whatsoever, and a fecal test, which was negative for blood. He did not have a colonoscopy yet. He's 52, smoker, and lately has been suffering with Lichen Ruber in his torso (front and back) and head. Any clues? Thank you

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The upper right abdomen may nor be swollen but it is just what your husband is under such a impression, If I would be his doctor then I would never advise him for colonoscopy, this will also turn negative, he might have a delusive kind of feeling, he needs moral support, and need to be assured that he is alright and doing good, have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
