Internal Organs pushed towards spine

I guess my first question would have been why doesn't the mass show up on xrays or an MRI?
Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!
It would show on an MRI, but only specialty hospitals have access.
On X-Rays soft tissue tumors often have the same density as all the other soft tissue in the abdomen. Unless there is a gas or fat border to the tumor, it just blends into all the other stuff in the abdomen.
We often suspect a tumor when abdominal contents are not where they are supposed to be.
