46 yo female. Upon doing breast self exam I noticed about 3/4 of an inch long lump on sternum. It is firm,moveable, non painful. HX 1 year post matectomy left breast w/reconstruction and fat grafting. I had DCIS so assuming it would not have spread. Any ideas of what it could be?

Hello Thanks for your query Based on your query Since you are a known case of DCIS, it is necessary to rule out frank malignancy and possible metastasis. As the lump is over sternum, it could be a lymph node or a co incidental lesion some soft tissue or bony. Go for a Fine needle aspiration cytology for further evaluation Hope this helps Regards
