Is enlargement of the supraclavicular node harmful?
Patient: Hello, I had a fluoroscopic guided CT right shoulder arthrogram earlier this week. Part of the results mention an abnormal enlarged 1.9 x 1.4 cm right supraclavicular node. Radiologist suggests a followup contrast enhanced CT neck for further assessment. Should I be concerned? Doctor: Hello,  It could be an inflammatory swelling. As a first line, you can start on a short course of antibiotics. If swelling persists then you can consult a general surgeon and do a fine needle biopsy.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
