A member asked:
My teenager has developed a cyst under each rib cage. what could this be? do you have lymph nodes there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not typically: With new growths felt by a parent i would advise you to take him to a doctor and be examined. It's probably nothing serious, but why take a chance?
