Suggest Treatment For Egg Shaped Lump Above Right Collarbone
Friend age 60 a female suddenly noticed a large eggshaped lump sort of flattish above her right collarbone. could this be a goiter or could it be something to do with her lymph nodes. Should she go to a general practitioner first or an endocrinologist?
Hi. If the lump is near the center it is likely that there was a bleeding in the goiter. An ultrasonography will clinch the diagnosis better. I think at the age of 60 such swellings should be taken seriously. Under sonography guidance FNAC can be done even to get a tissue diagnosis. So that further management can be planned nicely .
