What Does Growing Painless Lumps On The Right Side Of My Rib Cage Indicate?
Hi, on the right side of my rib cage I have a growing mobile painless lump. I've had it for years but it seems to be slowly growing. I've seen the doctor many times about this issue and I've been told it's tissue fat. I'm a bit alarmed because it seems to be growing and other small lumps have now also appeared on my right side rib cage.
Welcome to HCM. Painless,movable lump looks to be lipoma. Most likely it is harmless. Be watchful for it's further development. If it is regularly increasing with pain and disturbing your routine life then surgical removal is advisable. Consult surgeon for proper diagnosis and better medical management.
