Welcome to Health care magic.

1.First thing we need to check weather its a lump or lump like feeling with pain and fever.
2.The possible cause could be infective aetiology.
3.If you are my patient i would have examine first and then sent for a ultrasound abdomen pelvis initially to find the possible cause and then if lump is there where its existing from and what it contains and where all its involving.
4.Following investigation and best for assessing the bowel pathology and better visualisation of any lumps in the bowel will be CT computer tomography.
5.After that once its found - an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology will be helpful to know the cells.
6.But in your case i suspect some liver or gall bladder pathology with infective aetiology. So please follow the steps Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
