How To Treat The Painful Lump On The Right Collarbone Near The Throat?

I ve had a lump on my right collarbone near the throat for about three months. It is not painful when I press on it, and I m not aware of any other lumps. I am a 68 year old female, a little bit overweight. My only medical problem is bursitis in the right hip. Any suggestions/opinions?

Hi.
Read and understood your history of painless ump on the right collarbone for about three months.
You also have bursitis of the right hip.

My opinion:
I do not think that the bursitis and the lump is related. The painless lump of 3 months needs investigations:
- Ultrasonography and the FNAC are the best available investigations to get a probable diagnosis, helped by investigations of the blood and urine.
The another best way is to get an excision biopsy done to get the confirmed diagnosis and get a plan of further treatment.

I find this answer helpful
