Q: Diaphragm overlapping?
asked by: lovesbolton on July 23rd, 2003

Alright this is a little odd but my grandmother went in for surgery today to have a supposed tumor removed from her lung, but they found nothing. Yet during a ct scan there was something there. So the doctors explained that it must have been the diaphragm overlapping and casting a false shadow. But they didn't ellaborate on this subject and I have been searching high and low and can't figure out any details on a diaphragm (in the upper chest cavity) overlapping on itself. Any information would be great! Thanks Question

Doctors usually do not elaborate their mistakes to the patients. Mistakes are possible even when doctors do their best to help. I hope that your grandmother really doesn't have lung cancer and that easily recovered from the unnecessary surgical intervention.
