Protruding lump just under breast , on top of right rib cage Posted: 07-19-07 17:39pm
I have a protruding finger size lump just
under my breast on the top of my right rib
cage. It sometimes is painful and
sometimes not. However, it's not painful
enough for me to stop whatever I am doing
but to slow down and such. Any clues to
what this can be while waiting to go to
the doctor?
According to the description of a "lump
under the breast that is sometimes
painful" it is impossible to diagnose such
a lesion precisely. You can visit your GP
or a surgeon for further diagnostic
procedures.
