What Causes A Lump Of 1/2 Inches Next To Sternum Of Right Breast?
I am a 21 yr old female and have 2 children I had a normal breast exam 4 months ago but i was doing a breast exam at home yesterday(i usually do not do them) and found a lump on the right breast next to the sternum its about 1/2 in next to the sternum.was wondering if i should be very concerned?
Hi Thanks for your query. This is good that you found a lump. Self examination saves many lives and you should do this frequently. As per your history the lumps is of a short duration so the possibility of this having a cancer is very very less and you are young enough. Breast cancers do not occur usually at such an early age.
The most probable diagnosis is fibrocystic disease or fibroadenosis. I would advise you to undergo: Mammography Ultrasonography FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology to get an accurate diagnosis.
Take the medicines as per clinical presentation as seen by a Surgeon or Oncologist
