Is Chest Pain Related To Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans?

I have had atypical chest pain for the last 4-5 weeks. Was seen by my family practice doctor who ordered EKG, chest xray and holter moniter which only showed a few PVC's. Today I was diagnosed with Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP) and am schedule for Mohs surgery. Could my chest pain be related? Possibly my thymus gland has been affected?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, I don't think your chest pain is related to Dermatofibrosarcoma. It is painless condition.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely as your all cardiac reports are normal.
So apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
