What Does Hard Lump At The Intersection Of Breast Bone And Clavicle Indicate?
Hello. Today I have just noticed a hard lump where my breast bone and clavicle meet on the right side of my chest. I have never noticed it before. It does not move. It does not hurt. It does protrude out to be noticeable. What do you think it could be?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A hard lump at the junction of breast bone and clavicle can be just a bony over-growth or bone neoplasm.
I suggest you to get a X-ray of the chest to know the exact nature of the lump.
In case the swelling is bony, a biopsy may be required to know the nature of the lump.
Thanks and take care
