A member asked:
Can the gallbladder be felt as a lump on examination? what else is situated there that can be felt while pressing deep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: It is sometimes possible to feel the gallbladder with deep palpation usually if the GB is very large. You may also feel the tip of the liver which would be similar in feel. If you are having pain in the RUQ along with a lump, you should see a surgeon for further evaluation.
