What Is The Small Knot Under My Rib Cage?

i found a knot under my left breast just above my rib cage, about an inch from mid line. i noticed it one week ago, it is tender at times and had an ultrasound done, approx .7 cm is all the girl said, dr. said it does have a blood supply- does that mean it has a high change to be malignant and what type of cancer could be in this area?

Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Cause and plan of Treatment-
In my opinion on the given data,you seem to have fibroadenosis as its a tender breast lump.Your age is not mentioned.Hence Plz check out with your ER Surgeon who would treat it accordingly.FNAC under USG guideance would fix the diagnosis.Till then don't worry.
So don't build up wrong concepts and self medicate your self which would increase risks and costs to you.
Instead just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
