What Causes Lumps On Arm,pectoral Muscle And Rib Cage?

I am a 32 year old male. I have I have high collestorol but that is it. I am 6 feet and 215 lbs. I I have no weight loss and feel great, but am concerned about some lumps I have found. I have no swelling in the neck, collar bone, underarm or groin. I do have a lump on my left tricept, another two lumps exactly 2 inches lateral of my zyphoid process on my left pectoral muscle, another 3 inches from my elbow on my right arm and another on my rib cage. The Lumps are movable and pea sized. They look and feel the same as a ganglion I have had on my left wrist for years. I am worried that they might be lymph nodes but if they are why wouldn t the majors be swollen?

Hi,Thanks for the query to HCM.
-I studied your query in depth and understood your concerns.
-Cause and Treatment-of the lump on the arm/pectoral/rib cage-is mostly due to Multiple lipomatosis -as the one you had on the wrist-for years.
-Its benign tumour and harmless and not to be worried.
They are not lymphnodes.
These lumps are due to the genetic familial inheritance.
Unless they grow fast-they are not to be worried.
This would help you to plan treatment with your doctor.
Don't worry and things will settle
Hope this would resolve your query.
Welcome further for any query in this regard.
Wishing you a fast recovery.
