How to find the right patho?

Hi,

My patho book for clinical doesn't have the diagnosis i'm looking for called a "Hiliar Mass" which is some type of cancer. I'd really like to know the nursing measures for this specific patho. Could someone help please, thanks.

Several different organ have a hilum.

The term "hilar mass" is usually used to refer to a mass in an area near the mediastinum. It *usually* indicates some sort of cancer in the lungs or mediastinal lymph nodes.

From Gray's Anatomy http://www.bartleby.com/107/240.html

" The mediastinal surface (facies mediastinalis; inner surface) is in contact with the mediastinal pleura. It presents a deep concavity, the cardiac impression, which accommodates the pericardium; this is larger and deeper on the left than on the right lung, on account of the heart projecting farther to the left than to the right side of the median plane. Above and behind this concavity is a triangular depression named the hilum, where the structures which form the root of the lung enter and leave the viscus."

While the kidney has a hilum, I think kids-r-fun is correct. GOOGLE hilar mass.
