What Does A Lump In Stomach Indicate?
My 86 year old father has found a lump the size of his fist in his stomach. It appears to be soft and mobile and he said that it can only be felt when standing. No other symptoms. He has a history of hernias, large cyst found in throat years ago, benign and also a scrotal cyst years ago. Thank you.

Get confirmed by ultrasonography.
