What does a lump under my xiphoid process indicate?
Patient: I have a lump under my xiphoid process. Not painful. It's hard. You can see it when I lean back through my skin. No weight loss or loss of appetite. I feel like it's been there a while. But just paying more attention to it now. It's not my xiphoid process. I'm 32 years old. 190 lbs. Been gaining weight. Not very active. Doctor: Hi,  Most possible issue is lipoma involving the xiphoid region. A soft tissue ultrasound of high resolution is best way to get it perfectly diagnosed. I would like to admire your further doubts anytime.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
