A pulsatile: Abdominal central mass. Sometimes you cannot feel them. So they have to do an mri, ultrasound or ct to find them. Definitely see a doctor.

Signs of AAA: There frequently are no signs at all which is why screening ultrasound programs exist to pick them up in higher risk individuals. Some people my report feeling their "heartbeat in their belly". Unusual belly or back pain may also be symptoms.
