What Causes A Lump On The Chest After An Open Heart Surgery?
My husband had open heart surgery 14 months ago, and is now having an issue with a swollen lump right in the middle of his chest in the scare from the incision. Is this something that should be checked by his surgeon? It isn't hot or very sore, but has been itching and getting bigger! Not a bug bite, it is in a spot where the scare didn't heal very well and has been a concern since his operation.

Hello, It is most possibly hematoma formation at the scar site, not normal at all. Must be addressed to the operating surgeon immediately without delay. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
