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
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.
