Suggest treatment for lump on collarbone
Patient: my husband has a lump on his left collarbone and said that his hand was tingling. He said he found it this morning and it has already gotten a little bigger. He said the back of his neck has been hurting for the last few days by the botton of his head. I am worried. Doctor: Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.Well, If I were your husband's treating Doctor for this case of a neck lump on collarbone, I would come up with three possibilities, these include: 1.     lymph nodes due to some chronic disorder like tuberculosis, lymphoma or chronic throat / neck infection or even malignant diseases in elderly people!2.     The second possibility is of benign and simple conditions like lipoma or neurofibroma; there is nothing to worry about these!     3.     The last possibility is of sebaceous cyst or some other cysts like branchial cyst or lymphatic cysts! Nothing to worry about these also!Therefore, the treatment only depends upon the diagnosis and generally medicines are sufficient in majority of cases!I suggest you to go for an FNAC /biopsy and ultrasound of the lumps for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing your husband good health.
