Lump under armpit which looks like part of vein, but no history of varicose vein. Do you suggest to meet doctor?
Patient: HI. My partner has a small lump under his right armpit which is green and looks like a part of a vein.  He does a lot of physical work in his job as a gardener but has no other varicose veins and there is no accompanying discomfort.  is this something he should get checked out by his GP? Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.He may have enlarged axillary lymphnode. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis, lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma. He should go for examination and if needed 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 any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.Thanks for using health care magic.Wish you a very good health.
