Suggest Treatment For A Hard Lump On The Sternum
I have a hard lump about 3 inches in length and about 1 1/2 inches wide on my sternum, but also finding little round lumps on other parts of my body. Didn t show on my xray and have had swollen lymph nodes for years. My birth mother had non hodgkins lymphoma can it be hereditary.

hi.
i advise you to consult with a physician for complete medical history and physical examination. based from your description alone, one could not say if it's lymphoma right away, unless there's a tissue diagnosis/biopsy done. diagnostic evaluation and management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
