Lump At The Bottom Of Rib Cage. No Pain, History Of Testicular Cancer. Anything To Worry?

Hi I have a lump at the bottom of my rib cage in the middle. It does hurt if I press on it. It's not an excruciating pain. However, just concerns me bc I had teticular cancer a few years back. I do play a lot of golf and also played basketball for the first time in approx 2 years last week. I am 39 years of age and just really noticed this a few days ago.

Hi ! If you played the basket ball a few day back, it could be just a muscle fibre tear below your ribs due to over stretching which have resulted in a small hematoma giving rise to the lump and mild discomfort. It should be relieved with some anti inflammatory drugs for a few days.
However, because of the history of testicular malignancy, I would suggest you to get yourself clinically examined by your treating doctor/surgeon to exclude any other related possibility.
Wishing you an early recovery.
