My 12 year-old daughter/Protruding Sternum Bone

[NobleD]

My daughter is twelve years old. Tonight she showed me a protruding round bone between her breasts/ breast bone/sternum. I'm scheduling an appointment tomorrow morning. Can someone please reply if you have any knowledge of these symptoms? Thank you!

Hello~It is probably nothing, but, it would be wise to have a doctor check things out just to make sure.

yes the still have it - it would semm to be a growth and development issue. as it wasn't always there. it developed . so I guess just a mis-shapen bone or something. doesn't cause them any medical problems. (not to my knowledge)

Thank you so much for your reply LidaD!  Do they still have it? Or, did it disappear later? It seems like this condition may have something to do with growth and human development.
My daughter has an appointment Wednesday.

Thanks again :-)

this is rare but not altogether uncommon. My mom, sister, brother and neice have similiar problem.  They haven't been diagnosed with Anything being Wrong !  But it's wise that she go to the dr.   Best of luck.
