Very rarely: Hernias can occur in many parts of the body. Most commonly hernias are seen around the umbilicus, groin, or the abdomen. Diaphragmatic hernias are those that arise in the respiratory muscle that separates the abdomen and chest. Rare hernias occur between the ribs but are generally seen after prior surgery. An evaluation with a physical exam and possibly a ct scan can diagnose a hernia.
