Lump Underneath Breast Near Upper Rib, Hernia. Concerned?
Hi I was wondering if someone could answer my question regarding a lump underneath my breast near my upper rib. I am a 19 year old female. I was currently hospitalized because of severe committing and upper GO pain. I am currently being tested for possible celliacs disease. My endoscopy showed a hernia . Is this lump something to be concerned about?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
Most commonly this is fibroma or benign cyst especially in your age and you dont have to be worried. You should just watch is it growing fast or there is pain and redness of breasts. If yes, then you should do ultrasound to verify consistency of this cyst and then needle biopsy can be performed if necessary. your other conditions should not be related to breats lump. Wish you good health. Regards
