What Is A Lump Between The Gallbladder And Upper Bowel Suggestive Of?
I had strange sensations in my stomach, rather like having another heartbeat . I am 76 years old, and recently had an ultrasound scam for gall bladder problems, and the technician said that she can feel a lump between the gallbladder and the upper bowel. What is this likely to be please
Possible causes like adhesions must be ruled out. Recurrent attacks of gallstones may cause clumping of bowel loops and may result in mass or lump formation. You can go for a CT scan to get a better clinical picture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
