What Do Lumps On The Rib Cage Indicate?

Are there lymph nodes on your ribs? I have what feels like 2 smaller than pea sized lymph nodes on my front right rib cage. They are not initially visible but definitely can be felt. They move just like all my other lymph nodes but I can t find any answers as to whether there are lymph nodes on your front rib cage.

Hello welcome to the health care magic

Rather than lymph node it can be soft tissue lesion.

Local part physical examination is needed first.

If needed than USG can be done for further work up

To rule out nature of lesion FNAC investigation can be done after USG

Hope this will help you

Take care
