A member asked:

I have dcis and a new lump on the left breast. the surgeon just felt it, and said it's from a rib? does that make sense?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Catilage?: Your surgeon may be referring to the cartilage adjacent to the rib ( costochondral junction). This would be near the breast, but not in the breast. If you feel a lump in your breast, though, please get a second opinion.
