What Causes Small Internal Lump On Navel?

What could be small internal lump a few inches above and slightly to the right of the navel? The lump is painful and causes my husband to have what he refers to as a stomachache . It hurts when he is working, lifting something heavy. The lump does not protrude from the body and you must push down on the skin in order to feel it. My husband is 49, smokes, and works too hard.

Hello,

It could be a lymph node but the only way to be sure is to get radioimaging done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
