Breast lump: Anytime there is a new lump that you have concerns about, you need to be seen by a doctor. It may be your rib but it needs to be properly examined and possibly imaged to be certain. Please call your doctor.

Hope for the best: hopefully this turns out to be a benign finding such a lipoma. However, given its anatomical locations, other things should be evaluated for. The physical exam and bedside ultrasound may hold the answer. Please see your doctor asap to address your concerns.
