4 Year Son, Hard Bump On Clavicle. Had Swollen Thyroid Glands, Was Sick Month Back. Any Ideas?

My 4 year old male son has a hard bump on his clavicle, right where it meets his sternum (I think....it's on the tip under his neck). It doesn't move and is about te size of a pencil eraser. He is pretty skinny so I'm amazed I just noticed it. What could it be? He has tests for anemia a couple months ago and results came back normal, but that was done because he was sick, had swollen thyroid glands and the doc said he is underweight. He eats great and is super active. Happy healthy kid. No allergies.
