[|AI|]  Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your quarry. It sounds like thoracic wall lesion. It is questionable is it subcutaneous lesion, or it comes from rib born. If this is soft and painless it can be lipoma, fibrous or other benign skin tumors. If this is hard then some more serious diagnosis should be considered. Lung cancer doesn't start on this way. So I suggest doing ultrasounds and needle biopsy after which it can be easily surgically removed. Wish you good health.
