What Is The Growing Lump On My Neck?

Hi, I found a lump on my neck (right above my collar bone) back in February. Both surgeon and oncologist thought I had either lymphoma or sarcoma. I had a cat scan and then an incisional biopsy and results came back as possible hematoma. I never had an injury to the area. Now, the lump seems to be growing. If the biopsy showed it was not cancerous, what could it be? Is there a possibility it still could be cancer?

Hi,Dear,Good afternoon.Thanks for the query to my HCM online- clinic .I studied your query in-depth.I can understand your concerns.
-In my opinion the neck lump would need a FDG PET scan for to find out lymphoma origin of the HEMATOMA reported from Biopsy.I would advise PET scan guided FNAC Biopsy which would fix the cancerous or non-cancerous nature of -the NECK lump of yours.Urticaria and NOT A CANCER-for SURE.
-Advise-I would advise you to-consult a ER Radiologist along with the Oncologist and Surgeon-as a TEAM.
-I want to reassure you that you would be relieved of the fear of cancer if you take steps as advised ASAP.
-Hope this would resolve your worry-some query.Wellcome again to HCM .Have a good day.
