Large Lump on Rib below Left Breast

[yhaque]

I have a large lump on my rib that is right below my left breast. It is not in my breast but below my breast.I had a tumor removed a year ago in my right breast, which was benign, but this is strange. It is very large and very distinctive. Can you have a tumor on your rib and not in your breast that might be Breast cancer and what do you think it can be. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Ok so I have a cyst sitting on my 11th rib at the bottom and more towards my back and yesterday had to have it biopsied.  I have had constant pain in that same spot for almost 2 years and no one even tried to help or explain until it broke my rib in May now they want to be concerned just had biopsy yesterday so I have to wait over a weekend to find out what's going on

I also have a lump, I call it a fatty deposit under my left breast, just on top of my rib. I've had it removed and it is just that, fat. It is not really attached to anything according to the doctor. Iit came back. Sometimes it feels like it's trying to pill away and then it hurts a lot. I dislike it for cosmetic reasons as it is very noticeable

This might be an answer for some: Tietze syndrome is a benign inflammation of one or more of the costal cartilages. Read about it at Wikipedia   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tietze_syndrome
I have had a non moveable 1 1/2 inch  lump on my rib since 1991. It is painful at times. Usually painful when my back is out.  But painful at other times too. My doctor and I think it is due to, during pregnancy, my daughter was in the breech position up until the day before she was born and her head was pushing hard on my ribs. My doctor and I are assuming there was damage caused to the cartilage.  As you can read in Wikipedia about Tietze Syndrome : "While the true causes of Tietze's Syndrome are not well understood, it often results from a physical strain or minor injury, such as repeated coughing, sneezing, vomiting, or impacts to the chest. It has even been known to occur after hearty bouts of laughter. It can occur by over exerting or by an injury in the chest and breast."

i haven't worn a bra in years (i live on the beach) i am 20 years old and i have all of these symptoms: all as you mentioned added with the previously mentioned "burning" or "spasm"  in the same place as the lump but in my back, as well as the shortness of breath in that side (right in my case) and the whole area of the ribs itself is tender when breathing. I smoke, wondering did anyone else with this problem smoke before they found the lump? it was very sudden but makes sense, i havent been feeling myself in a long time. Hoping i can find a doctor who will shine some light. Thanks for listening, i hope together we can find some answers.

I swear i am having the exact same problem with the lump on my rib cage under my left breast the shortness of breath i went to the e.r they only did an xray and urine test to tell me i had a kidney infection in both kidneys on top of an bladder infection with an infection in my lung that pushed up from the bladder and kidney infection. They gave me antibiotics for 2 weeks tell me why i am still hurting with the exact same symptoms. Im going to get a 2nd opinion because i know something is wrong.. But good luck to you.

I’m sixteen and have the exact same thing you have. I’ve noticed when I put a little pressure on it gas moves around in my body. I dont poop very often so I think that’s the problem, at least with me.
