Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a lump size of a quarter maybe little smaller on the very end of my right collarbone doesn t hurt its not hot to touch it s hard doesn t move. I have type 2 uncontrolled diabetes, and arthritis all in my spine and knee , my PD is going to check me for rheumatoid arthritis and gout.
In most cases, this is just a swollen lymph node which doesn't require any specific treatment.
Also, considering your description this maybe some other benign subcutaneous lesion such as lipoma, fibroma or atheroma and if there are no skin changes such as redness, pus discharge or pain and fever then you should not be worried since it can be easily surgically removed under local anesthesia.
Then there are doubts it can be sent to the patohistologic analysis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
