Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
a swelling present for the last 15 years with no symptoms
only pain sometimes
it does not look like breast cancer
better consult a surgeon and get the lymph node biopsy done
histo pathological examination of the biopsy sample will clinch the diagnosis
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Take care
