i have a lump on the right side of my waist from under my ribs to my hips. a year ago a doctor said it was probably a cyst. i never got it x-ray but now i think its bigger. its definitely more noticeable when i move and i can feel it all the time. my new doctor says its a tissue band and wants me to get an ultrasound. i cant find any info online about a tissue band of this sort... ideas? thank you.
Hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. Based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a gelatinous type), a fibrous or fibrotic tissue (tissue band) or a lipoma. These lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur.  Management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
