Hi,Dear thanks for the query to HcM.Its alarming lump as its growing painlessly.But the chest pain and soreness indicate the infective nature of its cause.I would advise surgeons opinion before labelling its cause.FNAC-would resolve the issue -as its hard lump,as the soreness in the left arm near the lump, increases the ALERT-for FNAC urgently.Thnka.Hope this would solve your query.Wellcome again to HCm for more queries.
