welcome to Health care magic.
1.It looks like a mass arising from the bone (ribs).
2.Needs confirmation with the chest x-ray., to see if the ribs are involved.
3.An ultrasound of the lesion to see the content of the lesion ( solid/cystic/mixed) and the extensions.
4.If not identified you may have to go for a CT for better evaluation.
5.The cause should be find out.Take a near possible appointment and get the things initiate.
6.As the mass/lump might complicate.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
