What Does A Lump On Distal Clavicle Indicate?

I am a 44 year old white female with a hard boney lump on my distal clavicle. GP did x ray today and referred me to an orthopedic for another opinion. GP just said it was a protruding bone. I have a history of a meningioma tumor in my skull and soft tissue in the orbital sphenoid wing. Any suggestions if this might be related or what the lump on shoulder might be?

Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of distal clavicular lump, I would come up with only one and one possibility and that is a benign bony or cartilaginous tumor like chondroma or exostosis. It is common in this location and it is harmless; therefore not to worry about this.

It has nothing to do with meningioma also.

I suggest you to go for an FNAC and CT scan of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
