According to a 2017 study, breast lumps are the most common presenting symptom of breast cancer, but most chest lumps are benign. A noticeable bulge under the chest can have several potential causes, ranging from harmless fatty deposits to issues with the abdominal wall. Understanding the different possibilities is key to determining if you should seek medical attention.

While it's not unusual to discover a new lump on your body, an estimated 75% of chest wall tumors are benign. However, the discovery of any lump, including a lump in the middle of the chest, should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out more serious causes.
