What Causes Swelling Behind The Collar Bone On The Left Side?
I have swelling on left side behind my collar bone and neck area. It doesn t hurt but very swollen. I had CT Scan and they didn t find anything. Doctors feel the area and don t feel anything I have had this since July 2016. Any ideals and or suggestions
You can get fine needle aspiration (FNA) smear of the swelling behind the collar bone. FNA is an OPD procedure which samples the cells in the swelling to assess the nature of the swelling.
I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and fine needle aspiration of the swelling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks and take care
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri , Pathologist and Microbiologist
