Suggest Remedy For A Lump On The Bottom Of My Sternum
I have a lump on the bottom of my sternum. A chest Xray and ultrasound shows lump, but they were unable to see the edges of it. They said I will need a MRI to see exactly what it is. I am concerned because I have had severe pain in that area for months. Please help.

Hello...
Painful diffuse lump in lower sternum may be due to enumerous causes....it may be traumatic,infective,auto immune.....
As margins can't be traced MRI examination is food enough to get idea for it....
Over and above it a needle biopsy will add to dignosis...
Other Investigation may be done after that
