General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi & Welcome.
I appreciate your concern for the lump under the left collar bone.

Incomplete data like duration of the lump, any associated pain, any fever, loss of appetite or weight, any history of cough, etc.

The lump could be due to infection, inflammation or cancer disease.
The relevant lab tests like FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology), or biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis along with ESR, CBC, DC, liver and kidney function tests.

Hope the explanation for the possibility of causes could be helpful in getting the proper diagnosis and treatment under a physician's supervision.

I find this answer helpful
