Does Swelling Near Navel Indicate Swollen Lymph Nodes?

My son (19 years old) has a swollen area just under his navel and to the left (in front of the left hip bone. It appears puffy compared to the right side, and he said he can feel a swollen lymph node (also just in front of his hip bone.) Are there lymph nodes there and what could this mean?

HI. There are no lymph nodes in this area. This probably can be a lipoma or a hernia. Get this examined by a Surgeon for a better diagnosis.
