What Causes Swelling Over Clavicle?

it can be alipoma or a cyst
Detailed Answer:
I have studied your case and I think that there are following possibilities.
Hi,
1. It can be a Lipoma. It is benign fat tumour which is not dangerous and it needs to be removed only if it is causing pressure symptoms on underline structures like pain, nerve compression.
2. second cause can be a cyst which it a tumour filled with fluid. It can be excised or aspirated.
3. It can be matted lymph nodes, due to infection. Though It is least common. It can be flat also.
I would suggest you following investigations to confirm the diagnosis.
1. Ultrasound of the neck will tell us if it is solid or cystic tumour.
2. FNAC is a needle test which can give us histopathology of the cyst whether it is a fat, fibrous tissue or a lymphnode.
So get these tests as soon as possible.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
