Big bump on bottom of breastbone.
Hello. I have a health concern. I have a lump that I assume is cartilage right at the base of my breastbone between where the top two ribs meet. It is smaller than a golf ball. I have had it for 2 years or so and it seemed to have gotten larger when I took a break from lifting recently....I sometimes get shooting pains throughout my stomach- often near the bump.
So what is this? A doctor looked at it briefly long ago and he said it is a buildup of cartilage from strenous activity.. It didn't pain me then. I figure those of you on the forum know more about this than a doctor anyway!
Does anyone else have this or something similar? Should i have a good doctor examine it?
-thanks,
oGabott!

on drugs? nah. used to mess around here and there. nothing serious.
anyway, I really think that this bump is not dangerous. it's just my breastbone or something.... the pains in stomach could be unrelated..... i hope.
so no one else has a lump of cartilage on your breastbone.???

Chondrosarcomas are common tumors of the breast plate and the xiphoid process is part of it. Although you are a little young for chondrosarcomas it has been found in younger population . (it could also be an osteosarcoma which would affect the young adults more.) Cases have been found with enlarging xiphoid procesess so get your ass to a doctor that is going to take it seriously.
