Accepted Answer

Abdominal mass: How are we to guess as to the result of your Ultrasound. Isn't the doctor who ordered your ultrasound the better source of information? Please speak to your doctor or at least obtain the Ultrasound reading.

Question 2

small hard lump left side below rib cage on side of stomach.  detected today, more easily detected standing up?

Accepted Answer

Possible hernia: A hernia is a tear in the abdominal muscle. If you have one on your left side then it would show up as a bump in this area and might feel like a pulled muscle. Hernias need to be repaired surgically. Please have an evaluation by your medical doctor to determine what is going on and best course of treatment.

Floating rib: which is cartilage attaching to bony part of rib.  
Avoid pressing on it, apply heat and it will probably get better.

Question 4

i have a lump on my left side of stomach for 3 years have an ultrousoud done they said it not fatty tissue. what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Something else: Tough to say.  Cysts, lesions not otherwise specified, etc. are possible.  The only definitive diagnosis will come form a biopsy.  An excisional biopsy may not only be diagnostic but therapeutic (it will get rid of it too).

Question 5

i have large pea size lump on left side stomach been there for 5yrs. getting bigger each year. some times feels like size goes up and down. discomfert?

Accepted Answer

Cyst or lipoma: If this lump is just under the skin, and changes in size, it is likely an inclusion cyst, a benign growth related to the skin elements.  Sometimes a fatty tumor, or lipoma, can present this way, and is also a benign condition.  See your physician if you have concerns, as most can be excised in the office under local anesthesia.

Question 6

i have a lump in my left side where stomach is located, dr said its a fatty  is it a danger?

Accepted Answer

Lipoma: It sounds like you have a lipoma which is a totally benign lesion. If it doesn't change you probably don't need to worry about it.

Please call you DR and get scheduled.
If worsening, then go to the ER.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Belly lump: Sounds like a hernia
this is the worst case scenario
you need to show it to a doctor for a clear diagnosis.

Question 9

what could a small lump in the side of my stomach mean?

Accepted Answer

Could be small: Epigastric hernia . If you do not have symptom , you do not have to worry . However , for confirmation or if it is something else , it is better to show it to your doc . Good  luck.

Question 10

i have a lump in my stomach on the left side and vomiting?

Accepted Answer

Hernia: Perhaps the most serious problem would be an hernia that is being pinched by the abdominal wall. If the bowel is pinched one can become constipated as food passage is delayed.  With severe pinching and blockage, digested food can be regurgitation.  If symptoms persist then see a doctor; sooner than later?
