Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, his symptoms may be related to an infection or inflammation of the soft tissues of his breast.
I recommend consulting with the GP for a careful physical examination, a chest x ray study and some blood lab tets :
-complete blood count
-PCR, sedimentation rate (inflammation).
A chest CT scan and biopsy of the lump may be necessary to determine the nature of this lesion.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
