Have Lump On Left Side Of Collar Bone. Pain Down Neck, Arm. Cancer?
Hi , I have a lump on the left hand side on my collar bone , it s soft but gets larger when aggravated . I ve had pain down my neck and down my arm . I ve had an x ray and awaiting results . It s been there for about 3 months now really worried it could be cancer . Please help what could it be ? I am a 60 year old lady . Thank you for all your help . It feels like it could be coming from under the bone but I m not sure .

Hi,
you should have mentioned your age because that could be easier to comment on the diagnosis. anyway there are many causes of soft tissue swelling, if any bone tumor then also benign tumor can not be ruled out. but history of three months is suspicious. please make me informed about the X-ray report. further investigation can be planned based on this. visit a surgeon.
