Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
I feel that requires evaluation, that swelling can arise from bone or it can be soft tissue swelling.
You should get her a Xray Chest, Ultrasound of that area, and if required a FNAC or Biopsy might be required.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask us
