What Causes Chest Bone Nodules?
I have nodules on the lower part of my chest bone on the left side. I have a needle biopsy scheduled next week. Any ideas what this could be? Is this biopsy painful and will it prevent me from doing anythng afterwards? How long are the results delayed?

Hi.
Nodule on the lower chest bone on one side can be a lipoma or any sort of cyst.
It is a good decision to go for FNAC.
Believe me, FNAC is totally a painless procedure done on an OPD basis , where you are supposed to g for your work immediately .
The results are given on the same or the next day depending upon the work-load on the Laboratory / Pathologist.
