Fans immediately spotted a concerning ripple on her underarm area.
"Why does it look like a belly button?" one follower asked on a Reddit thread.
"What is that? I'm terrified!" said a second.
"What kind of 'pitgina' is that?" another replied, leading others to adopt the term- a combination of "armpit" and "vagina."
New York-based plastic surgeon Dr. Norman M. Rowe, M.D. told The U.S. Sun that the dent could be an "axillary hollowing."
"An axillary hollowing is essentially a divot or indentation in the armpit area that can result from certain cosmetic procedures," Dr. Rowe explained.
"The most common causes include liposuction to the upper arm or armpit, an arm lift or brachioplasty, or breast augmentation when the implant is placed through the transaxillary route—that is, through an incision in the armpit.
"In these procedures, tissue is removed or repositioned in a way that can leave behind visible contour changes, especially in someone lean like Kim Kardashian.
"While a cyst or an ingrown hair could technically create a lump or swelling in that area, they would rarely create this kind of indentation or volume loss."
Fortunately for Kim, the hollowing could be easily corrected.
"A correction would likely involve fat grafting—transferring fat from another area of the body and carefully injecting it into the hollow to restore a smoother, more natural contour," Dr. Rowe said.
"It's a quick outpatient procedure with a relatively easy recovery. Most patients are back to normal activities in a few days and see results over the course of a few weeks.'
Kim has never acknowledged any past plastic surgery, except for getting Botox injections to smooth out wrinkles.
READY FOR ROMANCE?
Kim just arrived in the Italian city to celebrate her close friend Lauren Sanchez 's wedding to billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
She was spotted giving a close hug to the newly single Orlando Bloom, who is also a wedding guest this weekend.
As The U.S. Sun reported, Orlando has split from his partner of nine years, Kim's pal Katy Perry.
According to reports, Orlando plans to "hit the dance floor hard" and be the "life of the party" this weekend.
Kim is single after dating Odell Beckham Jr. and Pete Davidson, following her divorce from Kanye West in 2021.
Her momager Kris Jenner and sisters Khloe and Kylie have joined her for the big wedding.

Lalo Schifrin, composer of Mission: Impossible theme and more than 100 film and TV scores, dies aged 93
Lalo Schifrin, the composer who wrote the endlessly catchy theme for Mission: Impossible and more than 100 other arrangements for film and television, has died aged 93. Schifrin's sons, William and Ryan, confirmed the composer died on Thursday of complications from pneumonia. The Argentinian won four Grammys and was nominated for six Oscars, including five for original score for Cool Hand Luke, The Fox, Voyage of the Damned, The Amityville Horror and The Sting II. 'Every movie has its own personality. There are no rules to write music for movies,' Schifrin told the Associated Press in 2018. 'The movie dictates what the music will be.' He also wrote the grand finale musical performance for the World Cup championship in Italy in 1990, in which the Three Tenors – Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti and José Carreras – sang together for the first time. The work became one of the biggest sellers in the history of classical music. Schifrin, also a jazz pianist and classical conductor, had a remarkable career in music that included working with Dizzy Gillespie and recording with Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie and Sarah Vaughan. But perhaps his biggest contribution was the instantly recognizable score to television's Mission: Impossible, which fueled the just-wrapped, decades-spanning feature film franchise led by Tom Cruise. Written in the unusual 5/4 time signature, the theme was married to an on-screen self-destruct clock that kicked off the TV show, which ran from 1966 to 1973. It was described as 'only the most contagious tune ever heard by mortal ears' by New Yorker film critic Anthony Lane and even hit No 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968. 'The producer called me and told me, 'You're going to have to write something exciting, almost like a logo, something that will be a signature, and it's going to start with a fuse',' Schifrin told the AP in 2006. 'So I did it and there was nothing on the screen. And maybe the fact that I was so free and I had no images to catch, maybe that's why this thing has become so successful – because I wrote something that came from inside me.' When film-maker Brian De Palma was asked to take the series to the silver screen, he wanted to bring the theme along with him – which led to a creative conflict with composer John Williams, who wanted to work with a new theme of his own. Out went Williams and in came Danny Elfman, who agreed to retain Schifrin's music. Hans Zimmer took over scoring for the second film and Michael Giacchino scored the next two. Giacchino told NPR he was a hesitant to take it on, because Schifrin's music was one of his favorite themes of all time. 'I remember calling Lalo and asking if we could meet for lunch,' Giacchino told NPR. 'And I was very nervous – I felt like someone asking a father if I could marry their daughter or something. And he said, 'Just have fun with it'. And I did.' Mission: Impossible won Grammys for best instrumental theme and best original score from a motion picture or a TV show. In 2017, the theme was entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Born Boris Claudio Schifrin to a Jewish family in Buenos Aires – where his father was the concertmaster of the philharmonic orchestra – Schifrin was classically trained in music, in addition to studying law. After studying at the Paris Conservatory, Schifrin returned to Argentina and formed a concert band. Dizzy Gillespie heard Schifrin perform and asked him to become his pianist, arranger and composer. In 1958, Schifrin moved to the US, playing in Gillespie's quintet in 1960-62 and composing the acclaimed Gillespiana. Schifrin moved easily between genres, winning a Grammy for 1965's Jazz Suite on the Mass Texts while also earning a nod that same year for the score of TV's The Man from UNCLE In 2018, he was given an honorary Oscar statuette and, in 2017, the Latin Recording Academy bestowed on him one of its special trustee awards. Other film scores included Tango, Rush Hour and its two sequels, Bringing Down The House and Dirty Harry. It was star Clint Eastwood who handed him his honorary Oscar. 'Receiving this honorary Oscar is the culmination of a dream,' Schifrin said at the time. 'It is mission accomplished.' Schifrin's conducting credits include the London Symphony Orchestra, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the Israel Philharmonic, the Mexico Philharmonic, the Houston Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. He was appointed music director of Southern California's Glendale Symphony Orchestra and served in that capacity from 1989-1995. In addition to his sons, he is survived by his daughter, Frances, and his wife, Donna.

The Original by Nell Stevens review
We become ourselves by copying others, whether dutifully or audaciously, in acts of homage or appropriation. What is education if not a prolonged process of copying, and isn't the same true, Nell Stevens asks in her latest novel, of falling in love? Suddenly besotted with another young woman, her protagonist Grace begins to wear her scarf at the side of the neck as her lover does, and to feel 'clearer and more deliberate and more like myself' as she does so. 'When we fall in love with a person, we fall in love with the copy of them, inexpertly done, that we carry around with us whenever they aren't there.' At its heart The Original has two strands of copying: both are preoccupations of the late-Victorian era the book is set in. There are the pictures made by Grace when she's brought, penniless, to her uncle's house aged 10 after her parents are sent to lunatic asylums (though her uncle and aunt may well be more dangerously mad than her loving parents). She copies her cousin Charles's paintings so well that he declares her a magician – or possibly a machine – and then she makes her way to secret independence by creating clever forgeries and then successful copies of famous works of art, from Van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait to Velázquez's Rokeby Venus. And there is cousin Charles himself, who is lost at sea only to return 13 years later, possibly as a brilliant fake, his jaw a little too heavy but his voice and manner so perfectly attuned to the original that his mother welcomes him delightedly back into the household. All this is playing out in a book that is at once a fake – a copy of the Victorian sensation novel – and distinctly idiosyncratic, the original the title proclaims. Stevens is one of a generation of writers finding new ways to queer the Victorians, who were themselves already pretty queer by the late 1890s, when Grace begins to have sex with women. Stevens has written one memoir about not writing a novel and another about not writing a PhD thesis that were both rooted in fiction of the Victorian era; plus a novel, Briefly, a Delicious Life, about a ghost who falls in love with George Sand when she's in Mallorca with Chopin. Despite its fantastical elements, Briefly is a sleek, conceptual 21st-century novel; loosely plotted, it takes its bearings from the unfolding of Sand's own life. The moments of drama are made up of pianos arriving or failing to arrive, and doctors misdiagnosing patients. Stevens's new novel is quite different in its flamboyantly Victorian plot. There are acts of murder and theft and betrayal and a narrator who never quite knows if she's on the verge of total ruin or immense wealth and success. It's a risk, plotting luridly like this. One danger is that her talents will count for less than they did in Briefly, if the plot is so wilfully contrived. And her talents do lie in the realm of realism. Stevens is so casually magisterial at the hardest aspects of historical novel writing. These are bodies moving utterly convincingly through a world of solid objects: wet clothes prickling on skin; the thick, rotten smell of the Thames settling in the back of the throat; the shock of a lover's cold fingers. But, of course, all fiction is contrived, and indeed Stevens is so preoccupied by how jarring this can be that she's already written a book about failing to make things up. Now, having put realism aside, she's able to explore what the contrivance of art can tell us about the contrivance of life – the authenticity that may be found through faking. Grace finds herself, happily, shaking off the Victorian era and emerging into the 20th century. Soon, Duchamp will scramble all ideas of originality in art by exhibiting ordinary objects as masterpieces, and Auden will praise man as 'the only creature ever made who fakes', urging poets to write lavishly and make 'a rare old proper hullabaloo' in their verses. Throughout, the more Victorian-plotted chapters are interspersed with aphoristic lists of statements about copying, where some combination of Stevens and Grace declares that 'the value of the copy is in the copyist's powers of empathy' and that in preserving, recycling and disseminating, the copyist engages in 'an act of tremendous generosity'. Generosity and love are what have been lacking in the house where Grace and Charles grew up; they find them through copying, accepting fakery as part of homage. The kind of porousness required by love may require us to bleed into each other in ways that make any notion of originality questionable. In book after book, Stevens is showing herself to be that rare thing: a writer who we can think alongside, even while she's making things up. All the confection here in the end helps us to appreciate the steely and witty mind that seems, four books in, to have learned to delight in that hullabaloo of fakery.
