Hi, I am a 28 year old male. I have discovered a round lump one of my ribs on the right hand side. it feels roughly 2cm wide. I am unable to move it around if I push it, etc. It is quite tender to touch but not particularly painful when I am not touching it. Im pretty sure it just happened overnight. Any idea what this might be?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have lump on rib.  It can be bone tumor, soft tissue tumor or cyst.  You should go for x-ray first.  If it shows any bony lesion then you should go for biopsy.  If x-ray is normal then it may be soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma or some cyst.  Then you should take treatment accordingly. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
