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

Question 2

hi i have found a smallish lump under my left collar  bone  feels like a sack of some sort under my skin?

Accepted Answer

Lymph node?: Most likely a lymph node, which houses immune cells.  Some of these permanently reside in the node and others go in and out.  In the context of infection, there would be an influx of white cells as the overall immune response adjusts. However, rarely, a lymph node enlarges due to an influx in cancer cells. For this reason, if it persists, it is worth seeing a physician and completing a work up.

Brachial plexitis: By your description, it may be that you have inflammation or compression of the brachial plexus, which are an accumulation of all motor and sensory nerves controlling the arm. This resides just under your collarbone e. Need to be evaluated by your doctor.

Question 5

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 7

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 8

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 9
