Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in.
This could be anything from a lymph node enlargement to a synovitis in the sterno clavicular joint.
Do you have any other features like weight loss, fever, malaise? Do you have any other aches and pains or back ache.
You should be seen by a physician who would examine it to determine the nature of the swelling.
You may need some other tests like a Chest Xray, complete blood count with ESR and a mantoux test.
Sometimes FNAC does not pick up anything then we need to go in for other diagnostic tests.
We can discuss this better once I have these answers
Regards
