<bot>: Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history of enlarged spleen and liver in the past and a non-tender lump of the size of an egg on the right side around the rib cage area. The most probable cause of such a lump is either a sebaceous cyst or lipoma unless proved otherwise. I would advise you the following in such a case. Consult a General Surgeon to get clinical evaluation, examination and get a clinical diagnosis. The diagnosis of such lumps is clinical and if it is either o the things I mentioned simply get it removed for two reasons. 1. Get the disease out of the body forever and 2. You get a confirmed diagnosis by histopathology examination. If there is speciousness of some other problem then only you may need further evaluation by FNAC, CT scan and so on.
