I have found one the size of walnut on the bottom of my right rib cage also.  It is a decent size.  It seems when I look this up there is not a lot of info on what it really can be.  
Mine is painles and i can somewhat move it.  It is on top of my rib cage while lying down but below my rib cage when standing.  I am curious to what it could be.  Some of the research I have done suggests a Lipoma (non cancerous "fatty tumor").

I was just curious if you have found anymore out about yours.  I was also wondering if anyone else had any input.
