Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

Well, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of upper chest lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     normal bony prominence which is common in this region!

2.     Some benign bony / cartilaginous tumor like exostosis or chondroma; there is nothing to worry about these!
     
3.     The last possibility is of some forgotten ligament tear of hematoma; not to worry about these also; hard sebaceous cyst or some other cysts also another possibility! Nothing to worry about these also!

If you are still not convinced, I suggest you to go for an FNAC and ultrasound of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
