Question 1

lump on left side of collar bone causes?

Accepted Answer

Nonspecific: Unfortunately this is an extremely nonspecific description.  A soft fatty lump may be a simple lipoma, which is benign and does not require treatment.  If you have had prior fracture of the collar bone, you may be feeling a bony callus or a residual deformity from the fracture.  If the lump is tender or has unusual coloration or has been rapidly changing in size, then you need evaluation.

Question 2

i have a fatty lump on under my collar bone, help?

Accepted Answer

Lipoma: Most likely is a benign lipoma or fatty mass. It could be excised. You should have it examined to make sure there are no adjacent lymph node swelling that could indicate a more serious mass.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

See specalist: You may have a ganglion cyst eminating from the joint.  Or it could be some other type of mass.  See a physician asap.

Question 4

Potentially serious: You need a thorough examination to check for breast lumps and enlarged lymph nodes. Please see your PCP urgently.

Question 5

i have a small lump on my left collar bone, is this anything i should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: It is probably a small cyst or lipoma And it should not cause any problem

Question 6

sorry but what does it mean by a soft tissue problem? i have read a lot about having a lump on the collar bone i do not know if it is serious?

Accepted Answer

Can mean many things: Soft tissue is a word that includes a wide variety of tissue including fat, muscle and connective tissue. It depends on whether the lump is mobile or fixed under the skin and or over the bone, if is soft or hard. You need an experienced physician to feel it and let you know. Ultrasound can help sometimes.

Question 7

i have found a small lump above my right collar bone. it feels like fatty tissue and is moveable. it is also painful to touch. should i seek help.

Accepted Answer

Yes: If it is bothering you I would have it surgically removed. It is an easy quick outpatient procedure. Likely this is a fatty lump called a lipoma but very slight risk of something more serious such as an enlarged lymph node.

Question 8

about a week ago i noticed this lump on my left collar bone. it's weird shaped, hard & starts just above the bone but is mainly on it. never broken it?

Accepted Answer

Swollen gland: Likely what you are describing is something called lymphadenopathy, which is swelling and inflammation of lymph nodes.  This can lead to pain and can be aggravated by movement, depending on the location of the swollen lymph node.  Generally speaking, most lymphadenopathy is caused by infectious processes. This could be viral or bacterial.  Other causes can be discussed with your doctor.

Question 9

i have a lump on the left side of my collar bone it is soft and moveable, its weird because it will disappear and then reappear throughout the day. if i feel it and move it around it will just go away and then a few minute/hours later i will feel it?

Accepted Answer

: This sounds like it could be a lymph node or a cyst. I would recommend you get it checked by your doctor…especially if it’s painful, red, if you have a fever or other symptoms.

Question 10

hard lumps in upper chest and on and under my collar bone, what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: This is a bit unusual.  Are they tender or red or very itchy?  Certain rashes can seem to be like lumps.  If they have been there a long time, they are probably nothing to worry about.  However, if new, and if you have any other symptoms like fever, tiredness, or lumps under your armpits, you should probably be seen by someone who can examine them and your whole body to see what is going on.
