I'm 15 and ive had this lump or bump i guess on my rib cage. its been here for almost a year and i seem to notice it more.ive gotten x-rays and a sonagram and they found nothing..i read about bone tumors and fractures but im not sure if i should consider that..Its on my right side and ive read about cancers in the liver also.
What other actions should i take about this problem?

Bump on rib

I also had a bump on my rip cage. I had it removed today it was a lipoma "a noncancerous growth or tumor" Mine moved and did not really hurt but they can. Mine was on my right side at the bottom of my ribs. He removed it under local anesthetic in his office. It took like 20 minutes with the anesthetic. Good luck to you.
