What Could Be The Reason For Having A Soft Spongy Swelling Over My Right Collarbone?
I have a soft spongy swelling over right collarbone. I did have an injury to my bicep (tablesaw kickback) that caused extensive bruising but the bruising is long gone, no pain except stiff shoulder muscle on the backside and in the last three weeks I have had this fluid like swelling under my skin above the collarbone. I'm going for an ultrasound and had my blood taken. What do you think? Thanks for any advice

Hello, Common causes of such sweeling in this region are enlarged nodes, lipoma, congenital cysts suddenly enlarging,rarely aneurysms and hematoma.
Ultrasound is ideal primary investigation to know what it is.
