A member asked:
I have an outgrowth of bone in chest, should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Is it new?: The breastbone alone is as variable as the human nose. Many people have a "novelty" bone or two in the chest. If it's a new growth, it needs to be seen. If you've always had it, it's just a little something special.
