Swelling In Left Side Of Rib Cage. Normal X Ray, MRI Shows Multiple Benign Liver Cysts. Suggestions?
I have noticeable swelling on the left side of my rib cage and my left front rib cage is sticking out further than the right. Chest and rib X-ray normal, MRI shows nothing. An abdominal ultrasound showed only multiple benign liver cysts. All my labs are normal. I have abdominal discomfort but not pain. I don't understand why my left side is swollen.

Your left side may be swollen because of gastric distension, and your symptoms could also be related to it.
No intervention is required for your liver cyst, if they are small and regular. I hope Ur tumor marker like alpha fetoprotein are also normal.
Wishing you a healthy life.
Take care
