What Does The Soft Lump On The Side Of Navel Suggest?
For about the last year I have had a palm sized area of what appears to be fat on the right side of my stomach. There is also a squishy bump about the size of a large gumball right above my navel. This is not something I had in the past. I have recently lost 30ish pounds by exercising and dieting and it has not gotten smaller. I have shown it to my internist who said it appears to be just uneven fat. I am 53, 5 ft 5 and weigh 195. There isn t any pain. Any ideas?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, of course this could be nonspecific swelling but this need to be investigated to ruled out some near possibilities and best is Ultrasonography this would rule out some doubts, till then just keep the condition under close observation, hope this information helps, take care.
