I've noticed a small pea-sized lump in my chest area and sometimes experience chest pain too. I read online that it could be related to the xiphoid process. How can I confirm what this is, and if it needs to be removed, what's the usual cost for the surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A chest lump near the xiphoid could be cartilage or lipoma. An ultrasound or CT scan can confirm. Surgical removal costs ₹15,000–₹40,000 typically.
