What Does A Lump Above The Navel Indicate?
I m 54 yr. old female who has been abusing alcohol. Just found a tender protrusion, dead center and just above my belly button. I ve been experiencing some stomach issues lately, and the nutcracker spasm in my esphocus. I m worried because there is some cancer in my family.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The most common reason for swelling above Belly button is epigastric hernia which is common at this age so it is unlikely to be a cancer.
