A tumor on the diaphragm refers to an abnormal growth that can develop on this muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. Such tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may cause symptoms like difficulty breathing, chest pain, or discomfort. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies and possibly biopsy, while treatment options vary based on the tumor's nature and location. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
