Hi,
Welcome to Hcm forum,
Lump such as this over collar bone is not normally seen. It is good that the blood tests are normal but I would suggest you need to get him examined by a surgeon. The lump needs to be examined first and then if needed should get an xray and ultrasound done. Its very hard to predict what it would be otherwise. Take care.
