Small Mass Just Under Rib Cage

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm going in for a MRCP this Tuesday Dec. 4Th. My

first one. My Gastroenterologist suggested I get a

MRCP as opposed to an ERCP...Less invasive.

I feel a small lump just under my rib on the right

side. It feels like it may be a hernia, or some type

of other mass. Has anyone had any symptoms like this

before? Just concerned, and curious.

Thanks,

-Mark

I have a number of small lumps on various parts of my body. In my case

they're just lipomas... a benign condition which some people have, and

(other than looking a bit funny) they don't cause any problems. It

probably is a good idea to get yours checked out, but there are quite a

few things it could be other than cancer, so don't worry too much!
