What Causes A Protruding Lump At The Right Sternoclavicular Area?
Healthy 56 y/o female 5'3" 117 lbs I noticed a protruting lump at the R sternoclavicle area about 1 month ago. I seem to have some pressure pains at the location and at time along the underneath side of the clavicle, sometimes worse than other times. Size is about 1/2 a golf ball. The Pains seems worse after sleeping on my right side.I do exercise and push and lift weights at the gym now for several years. I am wondering if the SCJ in inflammed causing the protrution and discomfort. I am without medical insurance and financially not doing well. I been searching and reading and studying on line. I have no apparent injury though I assume pushing weights could aggravate the area. I have full ROM. I wonder if the scj could be arthritic. I doubt tumors..no history of tumors or cancer in any family history. what do you suggest. Thank you
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged cervical lymphnode. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis, lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
