Hello, I have noticed a lump in my chest approx. 4 cm wide, a fist length down from my sternum. Its been 4-5 months now and its seems to get slightly bigger. It doesn t hurt at all and is quite soft and squishy to touch. It is noticeable to see from a distance as its slightly raised out of my chest.

Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From the history, you possibly are right in tentatively labeling as a cyst. However, the cyst would not get cured of its own. To know the exact diagnosis for the kind of cyst it is, you might have to take appointment with a general surgeon, who after a physical examination and related investigations, could arrive at a definitive diagnosis, and then plan an appropriate treatment for it, possibly a surgery. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
