What causes lump below rib cage?
Patient: Hi. My 3 yr old has a small lump below her right rib cage. Her Dr. examined it & said it seems like a lump of fat. He can move it around & it seems that it is not attached to anything. He asked me to monitor it & alert him it it gets bigger. I m still uneasy about it. Is this common in children? Should I be worried that it is a tumor? Doctor: it's unlikely to be tumour as it is mobile .looks like lipoma means fat collection. need to observe if its decreasing or increasing number in size. it can be removed by minor procedure and sent for pathology dept for examination.
