What Does A Lump Below The Ribcage Indicate?

I noticed a hard lump right at the bottom of the ribcage where it meets in the center a few months ago about where the sternum is. Ive noticed it has gotten larger the past month. I told a Dr about it yesterday and she says it is just the bottom of my ribcage and treated me as if I was nuts. I know though it hasn't always been like this. Its not painful but it is becoming annoying
