Hello, my husband has a soft 1 by 2 inch oval lump just below skin and between 2 ribs you can move it a little, but has no pain,


Posted by lumpy

He had asked his PCP about it a year ago. He said it wasnt anything. But it hasnt gone away so we tend to think it has to be something. He will be going again to talk to his PCP. I thought maybe if anyone has experienced anything like this maybe it would give us an idea of what to ask the dr.  I kind of wonder if it could be scar tissue? But still looking up info. Just thought Id ask here as Im researching this.

Thanks for any help or ideas!

Most soft tissue masses are benign, not to worry.

You might request your doctor to prescribe imaging that can be done with plain films or CT scans.
