What Does A Bump On The Chest Indicate?
My grandson broke three ribs during a soccer game. When to the ER and was released after the xrays. Most recent follow-up visit today indicated a bump on his chest and his doctor stated he would monitor the bump and a follow-up visit in a month. Is a bump normal or is that an indication of a more serious problem? Thank you, Concern Grandparents

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. The bump can be most likely a hematoma(blood clot). This will resolve slowly. There is nothing to worry. As you had x rays in hospital and discharged there is no lung injuries.
Thanks.
