Have Mass Above Belly Button, Tender To Touch, Movable. History Of Hiatal Hernia. Have Sacidosis. New Problem?
I have a mass above my belly button its getting larger over the last few days. Its tender to the touch, Not visable but hard and moveable. I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia a year ago but this seems to be lower and that I could not feel when pushing on the area, also just bending over is very painful that was very different then this, ive also been diagnosed with sacidosis that has the lymp nodes in my lung area enlarged. could either one of the diagnosis be related to these symtoms or is this a whole new problem/

hello there
as you have mentioned about a mass around your belly button which is getting enlarged, it is not related to hiatal hernia but it could be because of active sarcoidosis, sarcoidosis can cause generalised lymphadenopathy. But more importantly you have to show it to a general surgeon to rule out an umbelical hernia or a metastatic lymphnode
please do see a general surgeon
