What Does A Lump Under My Xiphoid Process Indicate?

I have a lump under my xiphoid process. Not painful. It's hard. You can see it when I lean back through my skin. No weight loss or loss of appetite. I feel like it's been there a while. But just paying more attention to it now. It's not my xiphoid process. I'm 32 years old. 190 lbs. Been gaining weight. Not very active.

Hi,

Most possible issue is lipoma involving the xiphoid region. A soft tissue ultrasound of high resolution is best way to get it perfectly diagnosed. I would like to admire your further doubts anytime.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
