Should I Be Concerned For A Movable Lump On My Collar Bone?

I found a movable lump on the top of my right collar bone, it s a little tender but that could be from me touching it since I found it but it seems like my right shoulder has felt a little funny for the last week or so. Should I be concerned and if it is bad can it be cut out?

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of the movable lump on the collar bone, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     a lipoma or benign fatty tumor or neurofibroma
2.     The second possibility is of a benign cyst like ganglion cyst or sebaceous cyst     
3.     The last possibility is of a lymph node or even could be some normal / developmental nodule like muscular nodule or just a feeling for you!
     
Overall, it is benign and not to worry about this but you could go for FNAC test for confirmation before consulting a surgeon in your area!

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 you good health.
