3 pea sized hard lumps in abdomen, can feel them but can't see them....likely cancer?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say/depends,: It's hard to say what it could be without more information.  It depends on where the lumps are in the abdomen, how long they've been there, and what other history you've got, if any.  If you've got no diseases, and normal labs it's highly unlikely they're anything.  If you're still worried it's a good idea to see your doctor for an exam, tests, and possible referral.  Best of luck.

Lipoma: Often times these are lipomas, which are simply benign masses of fatty tissue.  Very rarely do these cause any problems - in rare cases, there may be persistent surrounding inflammation which leads a patient to ask for removal of the lipoma.  As with any lesion, if there is significant increase in size, or significant pain, redness, discoloration, or any other concerning sign, do see a physician.
