Common Questions and Answers about Lump at base of sternum

lump

Avatar m tn Hi, I have a hard, boney and painless lump on the left side of my sternum where the adjacent ribs connect.
Avatar n tn It is elongated and flat and extends from the base of the neck to the pit of the abdomen. At the very bottom portion of the sternum is a cartilage called the xiphisternum or xiphoid process, Sometimes is can become harden and curl upward. However this should not be reducible. In that area the hernia that is most prevalent is a Hiatal Hernia. I have one...and 60% of America develop one before the age of 60. I have never heard of this being palpable or reducable.
Avatar f tn ve been having stomach issues for 3 or 4 years now. A few months ago I noticed a small lump at the base of my sternum that I had never noticed before. I told my doctor about it, and he said it was my Zyphoid and told me it is harmless. I have concerns that it may be something else because of my persistent stomach issues for 3 years now, and the fact I've never noticed it before.
976897 tn?1379167602 Before I make an appointment with my Doctor, I seem to have formed a lump, or bulge, or whatever the correct term is. It seems to be in the void right at the base of the sternum, right in the centre. It doesn't feel painful to touch or prod, but I've noticed I feel bloated a lot more lately. I have no idea what is there? I assume the Liver lays across that area and the pancreas? I have no real symptoms, but it just annoys me knowing it's there.

Avatar n tn I have hard bone like lump at the sternum whrer the two bones meet, any ideas?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn not long i noticed a swollen lymph near the place this lump was,the lump also vanished but the lymph node is still there,another lump appeared on the right side of my neck and the area close to that lump also swelled but not as big as the lymph node on the left side,now i have some tiny spots like rashes on my penis and a lump appeared at the left side of my leg in between the area close to my thigh and scrotum,white fluid come out of it,and since then being feeling pains there,am feeling pains
Avatar m tn After those symtoms left i have felt a lump or something stuck in throat and maybe like a small soreness also at time. This feeling is in the soft part of throat right above breast bone sternum area. I dont really notice it unless i swallow saliva. It doesnt seem to bother me eating drinking or breathing. Feel the best right awsy when i wake up but soon after it goes full force.

Avatar f tn I have severe heartburn and have had a few 3-4 day bouts of vomiting. I have pain in my back at the base of the rib cage usually on the mid left side, but I have also had it on the right of center. I just got over a severe resp. infection that lasted 4 weeks. I am feel like the infection is coming back. I have a foul taste in my throat and have been coughing up small bits of yellow phlem. I am running a fever of 99.6 to 100 most days. I normally am on the low side of normal.
Avatar f tn The best way to get out of this anxiety is to get the lump examined. A lump on the sternum could be a swollen lymph node, a lipoma (localized collection of fat), a neurofibroma (localized collection of nerve and fibrous tissue) or a scar tissue from a surgery (may be the melanoma surgery if it happened there). A lump in the lower sternum that comes and goes is often due to acidity. It is normal to be scared after you had melanoma. So the wisest thing to do would be to get this lump examined.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn I have chostochondritis but I have a little lump at the beginning (top) of my sternum right below my clavical. I took an xtray and the radiologist reading said it was fine. I thought my bone was sticking out or something. ng if its a lump...
Avatar f tn 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
Avatar f tn During foreplay with my wife, she noticed a small lump at the base of my penis. Neither of us have noticed it before. It doesn’t hurt. When erect it is on the left center underside all the way at the base of the shaft. When flaccid it I have to “dig” to feel it. Trying not to touch it, it’s been about 6 days since we noticed it.
Avatar n tn It could also be your xyphoid process. Is it a small lump of bone sticking down off the bottom of your sternum (breast bone)? The xyphoid is supposed to be there.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn I am having a hard time breathing and my heart beat faster than my breathing along with exhaustion and now a lump at the front of my neck to the right of the adams apple. Any oddities of broken ribs and sternum I should know about?
