Hello and welcome to HCM,
A lump in the right breast needs attention.
Lump in the breast can occur in various neoplastic conditions- benign or malignant.
A clinical assessment followed by investigations like aspiration cytology of the lump is required to know the nature of the lump and thus its management.
Sharp pain on the right side of chest may be due to the breast lump.
It is important to diagnose the condition before treatment can be started.
Thanks and take care
