The diagnosis of painless swelling involves multiple steps:
Medical History: The doctor will ask about the duration, location, and associated symptoms of the swelling. Physical Examination: A thorough examination will help in assessing the characteristics of the swelling. Imaging Tests: Ultrasound, CT scans, MRI, or X-rays can help in visualizing the swelling and identifying any abnormal growths. Biopsy: A sample of the swollen tissue may be taken to examine under a microscope to confirm the presence of cancer cells.
