Case Discussion
The xiphoid process may end in different ways, and its size may vary, too.
Some individuals have an elongated process. With ventral or dorsal deviation, they appear hook-like or have a reverse S-shape.
The patient may present with an epigastric hard swelling.
It is a normal variation.
