What Causes A Lump In The Abdomen After Appendectomy?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Don t worry, it may be cyst or lipomas. Until examination is done. it is difficult to say what it is. It is not a malignancy so don t worry. If you re observing any discharge from umbilicus, or increasing size of the mass, then please consult your doctor immediately. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
