What Causes Lump On Below Right Ribs?
When my daughter was about 4 months old I noticed she had a veiny and squishy little lump kind of below her right ribs on her tummy. The doctor said it was probably a little cyst and to just watch it. She is 1 year now and it has not gone away and almost seems to have grown a bit.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and good explanation.
The lump is most probably a hemangioma and usually heals on its own. In a normal course this should have been regressed ( reduced).
If you think it is enlarging , please consult a Pediatric Surgeon and follow his advise.
