A member asked:
Mri shows benign looking 1.6 cm supraclavicular node-dr recommends i see hemotologist oncologist. possibly malignant even if benign looking? lymphoma?

Excision.: If this node is easily accessible, then it should be removed for definitive diagnosis. Tests like ultrasound and MRI can suggest benignity or malignancy, but taking it out and sending it to the lab would give us the most accurate and reliable answer. Bring the MRI to a surgeon and see about having it removed.
