 Posted: 07/01/05 - 02:00 Post subject: What could cause lump above collarbone? |
  |

Hello. I was very healthy female until this occurred and now I'm not sure of anything.
Few weeks ago I had one very difficult inflammation of tonsils and I drank several antibiotics for about two weeks.
Now, I can say that my tonsils are fine but I got one another problem.
Recently I have discovered a "lump" above my left collarbone.
It could well be my collarbone, but it really sticks out and it's only on my right side, not on my left.
I'm very afraid because I don’t know what can cause this lump above collarbone and I hope only that it isn’t something serious.
Please, if anybody had similar lump, provide me any details which could calm me down!

First of all, like you said, it could be one part of your collarbone so you might need X-ray to see if it's a bone growing out or whatever.
If this is the case, it could be one benign tumor called osteochondroma.
You didn’t say did you have pains connected with this lump so I can’t say much about it.
There are some things that crossed my mind and I will tell you what it could be.
First of all, it could be some simple lymphadenitis- inflammation of lymph node caused by some bacteria found in lymph flow.
I must say that there is one typical sign of stomach cancer is lump above collarbone caused by metastasis of this tumor.
So, you don’t have to loose any more time- contact your general practitioner and schedule and examination. Good luck!

my girlfriend is having similar problems, she found a lump on her left collar bone. About a week before, she said her left shoulder was twitching. and now that the lump is there her skin is very sensitive and still twitches. She is 15 and I'm worried for her, but from what I've researched it might just be a lymph node but I want more opinions. I told her to go see a physician asap due to the number of breast cancer links I've seen |
