Is The Large Soft Swelling On Collarbone A Fatty Deposit?

I have a large soft swelling above my right collarbone extending to the side of my neck. My GP said there are no solid lumps and it is fatty deposit only. It aches and is not there on the left side which concerns me as surely it would be the same if it was fatty tissue.

Hi,

It could be cystic hygroma.

Kindly consult a general surgeon. CT scan & or MRI neck may be indicated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
