What Do Lumps In My Right Breast Near The Armpit Indicate?

I went to the breast clinic a 2 weeks ago as I had two lumps in my breast. They did an ultrasound and could only find one lump so did a biopsy of it and it turned out fine. The second lump they just left it and said he wasn’t concerned. Should I be concerned as I’m worried as I feel the lump? It’s to the right of my breast next to my armpit... I am concerned if it’s a lymph node that it may be lymphoma?

Hello,

* As per my surgical experience, the inflammation involving the breast tissue does manifest as lymph node enlargement secondary to the infection in draining territory of the lymph tissue which is axilla in case of the breast.

* If you can provide me pathology and scan report, I can further guide you more precisely ahead.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
