Medical Forum / General / General / December 2004Lump on Rib
I have a small painless but visually noticable lump near on one of my ribs, on my lefthand side, at about the height of my elbow. What is this? ~Iain >I have a small painless but visually noticable lump near on one of my > ribs, on my lefthand side, at about the height of my elbow. What is > this? It's either a lipoma (fatty tumor), or a sebaceous cyst, or a hematoma, or a rib cartilage, or fat necrosis or a malignant sarcoma of some kind. Or, it could be something else. In the absence of being able to see or feel this lump, an internet diagnosis is completely impossible. See a doctor. HMc Likely merely calcium deposit. > Likely merely calcium deposit. I have increased sharply milk intake. This this more evidence for what you suggest? It shrank slightly. ~Iain >> Likely merely calcium deposit. > > I have increased sharply milk intake.
