@MickeySegal I am not entirely sure if this is well delineated from Abdominal mass HP:0031500?

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/flank "the fleshy part of the side between the ribs and the hip"

A flank mass is often a sign of kidney disease rather than abdominal disease, e.g., https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1326/ "The presence of bilateral palpable flank masses in infants"

@MickeySegal I think this is the first HPO term with flank and it is a little hard to place it in the hierarchy. I have "parked" the term under abdomen for now, but this can be refined later.

Adding new term:

ID: HP:6000363
label: Flank mass
parents: Abnormal abdomen morphology (HP:0001438)
pmid:
def: An abnormal enlargement or swelling in the flank, which is the fleshy part of the side of the body between the ribs and the hip.
