I have what seems to be a blob of free floating fat along my ribcage. It appeared a couple of months ago, and hasnt caused me any pain, but I finally had it ultrasounded last week. The tech told me that it moved when she was trying to scope it, which she said was a good thing, and she thought it was just fat. Is there any reason to have this lump removed if it isnt causing any problems?
Hi.based from your description, it could possibly be a lipoma (a fatty tissue deposit). It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. If it is growing in size and bothering you and your daily functions, definitive management is excision biopsy. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
