A member asked:
Can children get fatty lumps on ribcage - its about 1cm diameter and moves - visible when he puts his hands above his head - about 4 cm parallel to his nipple?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I think I answered one of your questions last week about this finding. A lipoma of 1cm is not easy to recognize so your child's lesion is more like a cyst. Whatever it is you have nothing to worry, just let the doctor aware in the next visit for a definite answer. Take care.
