General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI.
Thanks for your query.
Hard immobile lump is to be worried about.
I would suggest you to go for FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology to start with.
CT scan of the area if there is suspicion about secondaries ( of cancer).
A good clinical evaluation by a Surgeon to feel and examine the draining area.
X-ray of the chest, Mammography if you are a female patient .
All this is required to determine the future course of management.
FNAC can guide further , if not conclusive to go for biopsy to get an accurate diagnosis and plan for further management.
I find this answer helpful
