[|Human|] I noticed a mass in the left epigastric region 2 nights ago. It is non-tender, about 3 finger spaces below the ribcage, and solid to touch. I am overweight and have a number of lipomas, but this one feels different. I am not in a geographic location where immediate, reliable testing is a good option. Any suggestions what it might be?
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for the query. It might be another lipoma, sebaceous cyst or other benign soft tissues lesion. Usually it does not need medical attention and can be left alone. It will be gradually getting bigger, and if it's a sebaceous cyst, can get infected and cause some pain. There is also a possibility that what you feel is a hernia. It is possible if you have had any surgery in this region. The best way to find out what it is, is an ultrasound. Hope this will help. Regards.
