A member asked:
I have a swelling in armpit and doctors say i should remove it , is it a must , nothing was proven its bad or not ..but its just a mass 5x5 cm movable?

Excision biopsy: Yes. I would also recommend to go for excision biopsy of 'mass' in the arm pit, which i assume to be a lymph nodes. You can also discuss your concerns with your doctor before agreeing for the surgery. Good luck!
