What Could A Lump In Armpit Mean?

Hi, I am a 23 year old male in good health. Recently i noticed when I lift up one of my arms and feel around my collar bone near where my trap would be their seems to be an elongated lump on both sides. It doesn't feel like any lymph nodes I have felt in the past because they are both long and pretty skinny. I cannot feel either lump if my arms are hanging down, only when they are elevated even with or higher than my shoulder. I was just wondering what this may be. Thanks.
