What Causes A Fluid Filled Cyst On The Collar Bone?

Hi so nice. Have a fluid filled cyst on my collar bone. Was small and floating. Told two different doctors and they said no problem and ignored it -- now settled on bone. Has grown--to medium marble. Name and who do I see? Suggested that i hit it with large book as on wrist (by another doc in jest) Mimi YYYY@YYYY

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be an abscess or seroma.
Consult an orthopaedician and get it drained under local anaesthesia.
If there is any diagnostic confusion, an MRI may be needed.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
General & Family Physician
