Lump on right Side of back just below ribs

I've recently found a lump on the right side just below my ribs. I went to the doctors and he's sending me for a scan. He said it's quite big it goes under my ribs. I'm so scared I'm thinking of the worst. Could this be anything else?

  • Hi Kerry i hope you don't mind me asking as your post was a while ago I have exactly the same problem on my right side a big lump under my rib on the bottom rib it feels bony and big can I just ask what your outcome was as I'm now waiting for a scan Thank you 

  • I’m similar, I have a lump on the left side of my back lower rib. It’s painless, immovable and rock hard. I was told after an ulstrasound that this was just an enlarged rib and that ‘bodies aren’t symmetrical’, but it’s only just recently painful when I breathe deeply and it’s a clear lump.

    Would be great to hear anyone’s diagnosis
