What Does A Large Lump In The Armpit Signify?
My mother has a large lump in her armpit that is painful about the size of a golf ball or larger. She has had a mammogram and a sonogram of the area. They suggested she have a biopsy of the lump. She is on Plavix which her doctor does not want her to stop . She can t have the biopsy while on Plavix. What are her options?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
She can undergo FNAC if mammogram is showing something abnormal otherwise, can be switched on LMWH and can undergo core biopsy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
