I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've noticed a lump or some sort of unwanted mass in my right chest. I'm not sure what kind of doctor I should see about this. Could you help me figure out who would be the right specialist to consult?

Question

I'm 32 and have a cyst in my left breast. After seeing a doctor, they said it's fibroadenosis and mentioned surgery as a treatment. I'm really unsure about having surgery. Are there other options besides surgery that I could consider? And if I do go through with surgery, what kind of impact might it have on me? I'm a bit worried about these next steps.

Question

I'm a bit worried after my recent chest X-ray. It showed this opacity in the right lower zone, so they did a CT thorax with contrast. The results showed a well-defined, heterogeneously enhancing lobulated mass in the anterior mediastinum on the right side, around 6.6x5.3x6.5cm. It seems to be involving the prevascular space, but thankfully, there arent any changes in the surrounding lung parenchyma. They mentioned it could be either a lymph nodal mass or a thymoma. Could you help me understand what this might mean and what the possible next steps could be?
