Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have lump in chest wall. You should go for ultrasound abdomen. Then if needed go for biopsy of that lump. It can be soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma or some other mass. Biopsy will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
