A member asked:

Lump under ribs on right side gall bladder. what could this be a sign of?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many things: A lump there may be a fatty lipoma. Unlikely to be able to feel the liver, and the gallbladder would not be felt unless there was severe gallbaldder inflammation & obstruction with severe pain and blood test abnormality. Hernias do not occur in that area. Needs an exam with a doctor to tell.
