lump under sternum

I found a marble sized hard immovable lump (under the skin) between my breasts a few days ago. Does anyone know what this could be? I have read several things on the internet saying things like, clogged sweat gland, cysts, boils, etc....but this is under the skin, it does not look like a pimple, it isn't red and doesnt even look like it could be popped. Could it be breast cancer if it is not actually on either one of my breasts?

I have a lump just below my sternum that has been there for years. In my case it is a cyst. When I first noticed it, it was as large as it is now. There is no pain. That is not to say that you have a cyst - but it is possible.

Hi my name is Irma, I have a large lump under my sternum. its very painful, its hurts to bend forward, lay on my side and feels like its up against my rib cage. Two and a half months ago i had a lg tumor removed from liver .9.6cm oh biopsy showed no cancer. anyways if you could help with the pain i would really appreciate it..

I strained my abdomen and groin by doing too many sit ups last year. For various reasons, over exertion seemed like a good idea at the time. How wrong i was. It feels like there is a lump in my belly, below my sternum, this lump is tender to touch, and it gives me the sensation of a "hole" in my chest. There is also a "lump" in my groin, on both sides. Ive also been having warm sensations All over my body, from head to toe.

I do have a lump in my sturnum, left side, it hurts when I push on it. I have a wicked pounding heartbeat, often uneven. I feel my heart beat in my whole body all the time.

i really dont know what it is a lump the size of a silver dollar appeared right under the bra strap every time i look it up on the internet it shows hiatal hernia but it doesnt hurt per say but i have periods of feeling sick this occurs when i eat alot at one time and when i lay down to sleep i have made an appointment with the dr but its over a month away

since saturday (today mon) first day was severe heartburn with nausea and elephant on chest feeling. Sun started having pains at bottom of sternum at top of stomach. Today had pains at bottom of sternum, with high blood pressure newest reading being 163/116 81 heart rate and pressure like elephant on chest. Along with finding a lump at bottom of sternum right in the middle with little bit of pain and the lump doesn't move. No heartburn today though.

I have a hard, "jelly bean sized", firm, non-movable lump on left side of my sternum, right between my breasts. I've had no injury to the area, it is not discolored & have had this bump for a couple of years. During a mammogram a couple years ago, a "marker" was placed over this area, however the marker moves with my skin, and since the lump is fixed on my sternum, it doesn't show in a mammography.

I have tenderness in my sternum chest and under my armpit. Feel burning in my throat also feels like a lump stuck in there. Yellow diarrhea head ache.

Well I have a lump just below my sternum and it has been there for almost 30 years. It is a lipoma (a fatty cyst). I seem to get them all over. If you lump were cancerous it would not be sitting there so benignly for 15 years.

Hi, I have a hard, boney and painless lump on the left side of my sternum where the adjacent ribs connect.

I've tried hard to determine what it is, but it just seems a bit high up, right under the sternum. It's basically where the solar plexis is. I'm phoning for an appointment tomorrow, but goodness knows when there will be a vacancy, our Doctors surgery is pretty busy lately. I've noticed now that it seems to feel pressurised after I eat and it feels like I'm really bloated. Perhaps a hernia could be the cause, maybe a hiatal hernia?

Hello. I have now gone on a couple of months of pain under my sternum. It started when I lifted something heavy and my back was hurt badly. after a couple of weeks, my stomach feels like it's always empty. it is weird. it also feels like it's full. it's hard to explain. when I push in under my sternum, I get a sharp pain, but when I don't, my stomach does not hurt, it just feels weird. I'm not even sure if its my stomach.

This is a lump that moves when I push on it and when I lay down, it looks like a bump under my skin. It is also a little painful. Any idea of what this could be?

Hello I'm 25 years old and I have a small pea sized movable lump to the left of my sternum. The lump is not visible I have to find it. It's been there for a while but I recently have been getting random sharp pains where the lump is. It is also painful when I move it around. My first thought was that it could be costochondritis because I do lift heavy at the gym but I'm not really sure. Any thoughts?

But now I have a hard lump about the size of a large marble on my sternum. My primary care doctor has referred me to a general surgeon but I'm wondering if I should see my heart surgeon rather than a general surgeon. Could this be related to the heart surgery? Can you get lumps of scar tissue that cause chest pain 4 years after surgery? I'm scheduled to see the general surgeon on Thursday. Thanks!

s hard to say what this lump could be.Many women have these kind of lumps under the breast,almost on the rib cage beside the sternum. Some have been diagnosed with a benign lump called a lipoma,which is a form of soft tissue tumor,others with muscle inflammation,abscess,cyst etc. I am not saying that the lump you have,is one of them, but it's a possibility. I am sure the scan will let you and your doctor know exactly what's going on. Take care and best wishes...

Hello and welcome to the Dogs Community! :-) I can't imagine any dog of that age that should have any kind of a hard lump on it's abdomen. If he were my dog, I would be concerned enough to ask my vet about it. Did the lump come up very suddenly? It may only be an insect bite and nothing to worry about. By the way, allergic reactions to such bites can be treated with benadryl (diphenhydramine ONLY - no decongestent included) at the rate of 1 mg per pound of the dog's weight.

If a woman finds a lump over her sternum, which is more of a indication of cancer, a fixed or movable lump

I recently found a small, pea sized knot below my sternum in between the top four abs, directly in the middle. It moves very little while running my finger over it, but pretty much stays stationary. It has not given me pain while sleeping or exercising. What may this be? It has concerned me a bit, but I thought maybe it was a muscle knotting up.

as i have never looked that far in my mouth..i brush my toungue everyday. at the left side of my tonsile i also noticed a white lump..any way moving on..i have been experiencing random pinch like pain at random points on my body..left armpit,left foot, random hot flashes on my right hand..and a small lump on my vein underneith my penis..just where my ball sack begins..it disappeared and now i have a bean like thing just under my jaw next to my right ear..its painless and cant really notice it..

So when I felt where the pain was, I discoved a fairly large lump at the bottom of my sternum just off center. Kind of FREAKING out here. Do not have health insurance and do not want to go to the doc to hear him say it is nothing to worry about. Could it be an ulcer or something not so worrisome, or should I get it checked. Pain is still there hours into the day but it comes and goes as far as how strong it is. Anyone have any answers or suggestions?
