Hello...I'm male, 39, 5'9, 170 lbs. I've had this lump for about 2 weeks. I can feel it from a couple inches above my belly button to...it feels like, just under the sternum. No real pain, as of yet, just pressure and feels tight. It's right directly in the center. Can you please tell me what this might be?
HI,Dear,Thanks for the query.1-I studied your query in depth.2-In my opinion ,The painless lump under the sternum and above the naval button ,may be-" proped up non-strangulated perperitoneal fat"- protruding through the defect in the central fascia between the 2 abdominal recti-as there is no pain in that central lump.3-It could be Lipoma herniating out of the fascial tissue between 2 recti.3-a-It could mimic the Umbilical hernia also and needs to be differrentiated.4-Hope this would solve your query to your satisfaction.5-Wellcome for more queries to me On HCM.6-Thnks once again for your inquisitive query.Have a Good Day..!!
