What Is The Diagnosis Of A Lump In Breastbone Area That Continues To Grow?
Have had a lump of 5cm from breastbone across right rib under right breast area. Iam male and have had it over 7 yrs. Growing bigger slowly and now have occasional pain when sitting or standing long periods of time at site. Dr a few yrs ago said it was nothing to worry about, but now discomfort? Iam 48.

Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
if yopu have for 7 years than this is obviously benign subcutaneous lesion such as fibroma or lipoma. it can always be surgically removed and sent to patohystologic analysis if it becomes worrying or there is cosmetic concern
Wish you good health. Regards.0
