I am mrs.felix, aged 47. My uterus and overies are removed around 12yrs back. so far i was good in health except leg pain.But i noticed after some years a small line like thing protruding under my left breast,just on the last rib.it was there as it is.but suddenly i noticed it growing.before 6yrs i had a scan report saying that infiltration of fatty liver. now that i can see it is growing, now the present size is like a half cut bun.no pain, its not hard.i can press it slowly. i have severe indigestion problem when i take a masala items and spicy food. and i cannot eat fully. now i myself stopped all kinds of food and i take only oats , broken wheat porridge and all vegetables and fruits. i am afraid. pls give me an answer.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read the whole history carefully.
This looks to be NOT related to the fatty liver at all.
This can be a lipoma or a mass on the rib from the muscles or so.
The best way is to undergo an ultrasonography and FNAC to get an idea what it is ; confirm by CT scan only if required.
Consult a General Surgeon to get an idea whether it is lipoma or something else.
You may need a small surgery to get this removed and get a confirmed diagnosis and a planned further management .
I find this answer helpful
