What could be the hard lump on left side of rib cage?
Patient: Hi I have a lump on the left side of my rib cage its the size of a golf ball but instead of being round it overal, it feels hard but I can more it slightly, its also very achey and if I press on my ribs just below the lump there very tender! Any ideas? Doctor: Hi,It can be a lymph node or a sebaceous cyst or can be even a malignant tumor.... you need to show it to a surgeon for a physical examination and a needle biopsy, if he feels so, to know exactly what it is.Dr. Ashish Verma
