bent xiphoid

(2 discussions)

I think I have a xiphoid process bent about 45 degrees to my right side, possibly due to a childhood accident. Either that, or I have a hard tumor growing off my sternum. Are anyone of these two scenarios possible?

    Hi, I have the same thing. My xiphoid seems to curve to the right more. Read Grey’s Anatomy and in the section on the sternum it says that they can be curved or deflected. Also, there are numerous web sites that state that it is variable in size, shape and ossification
