Are there any known types of tumors that sit on top the bone on the side rib cage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear question: Osteoma is one type of bone tumor that could meet the criteria you put forth. If you have a lump on your rib cage, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
