Brief Answer:
Please give additional information and post clear photographs.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
To recapitulate: Female/55 - very hard - egg shaped and sized lump next to naval - wants to know what it could be...

Please give additional information for me to assist you better:
- Since when is this present?
- Is it above, below or by the side of naval or though it.
- Please post clear and focused photographs as it helps in on-the-spot diagnosis in some cases.
- Put a palm on the swelling and try to cough hard or raise intra-abdominal pressure and she if it enlarges or remains same - impulse on coughing
- Is reducible on pressure or remains same?
- Is it XXXXXXX or fixed?

Awaiting for your feedback in details.

Hi, here are the answers to your questions. There's no option to send a pic that I can see.

This has been present for a few years.

It is at the side of the navel.

Coughing doesn't do anything to the lump.

It is not reducible.

It is fixed.

Brief Answer:
May be a Desmoid tumor.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
The description befits a condition called Desmoid tumor.
This occurs only in Female and the cause is unknown.
Other causes can be a lipoma or sebaceous cyst but these are bit XXXXXXX and may be multiple.

You may please this confirmed by the following:
Clinical evaluation and Examination by a General Surgeon..
High resolution ultrasonography and FNAC of the lump and further management as per the final diagnosis.

I hope this answers your query.
