Hard Lump On Lower Left Ribs, Little Discomfort In The Area. Anything To Worry?
I have a hard lump on my lower left ribs. It doesn't hurt at all. I just happened to notice it because it sticks out a bit when I'm laying down. Like I said I don't have any pain, not even while touching. I feel a little discomfort in the area but I don't know if it's because of the lump or my poking around. For all I know, I've always had it. Do you think it's something to be immediately concerned about just something monitor it?
Hi!. Thanks for your query. Asper your complaint it may be a plain Neuro fibromatic swelling and is usually pain less. If starts hurting it needs surgical removal. If not wait and watch and if it becomes big then for cosmetic point of view you may need excision. But still you can go for FNAC for confirmation. Take care.
