What Causes A Lump Below The Centre Of The Ribs?

Hi I have just recently had an operation to remove my right testicle, I am awaiting the results to see if it is testicular cancer. I have just noticed a lump directly below the centre or my ribs, it feels hard and bony - is this normal as I have never noticed it before?

hi.

it could be a simple cyst or just a bony protrusion but it is best if you consult w a general surgeon and have a complete physical examination done. further diagnostics, like ct-scan, will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
