Lump Under Rib, Painful, Ultrasound Shows It Could Be Benign. Something To Be Concerned?
My husband has had a small lump just under the right rib,i noticed this almost a year ago.It only hurts sometimes and and he is sick. Ultra sound has shown that most likely this could be a benign however its non specific and he has been required for an second opinion by a surgeon. I have tried to keep him calm but he is very anxious,thinking the worse,doesnt help when i am 5 months pregnant and all he can think is negative. The lump has always been the same size unless he is sick,it increases in size a little. Is this something to be concerned about?? Kind regards,
Hi It looks like a Lipoma,swelling arising from fat tissue. Nothing to worry. It is not Cancer. Please consult a Surgeon ,get it removed and send it for histopathological examination(Biopsy).You will get the exact diagnosis.Removal is a simple out patient procedure. Wish him good health. If you come back after biopsy report,i will clarify further Wish him good health and speedy recovery Regards
