A member asked:

I have a decent size mass on my lower left rib cage.. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not sure: This could be something to be concerned about it depends on how this presents and what the history of this mass is. Too little information for me to really give you an answer. I would recommend that you see your doctor and have this looked at to be sure.
