"Navel lump" ?'s: In a male, a "lump" near the navel showing a "asymmetric echogenic structure" may simply represent herniation of peritoneal membrane through a defect which could evolve into a hernia containing bowel if enlarged or after strenuous exercise. This should be followed by a surgical consult if enlargement is noted, to prevent problems from an intestinal hernia.
