Hard lump? Any lump(s) found after a mastectomy could be troublesome. It may be a hematoma (collection of blood), a seroma (collection of fluid), an infection, a cyst, swelling, left over tissue..or a host of other things. It may be reabsorbed by the body, something to live with or cause a problems.

Best let your doctor check it out; especially if it's tender!
