welcome to Health care magic.
1.Lung cancer is one of the cause for the mass at the collar bone.
2.Or any bony lesion arising from the collar bone itself.
3.An x-ray chest / apicogram initially to evaluate the lesion.
4.depending on the involvement CT could be suggested.
5.Yes even arteries cause lump but they are not so hard. ( an ultrasound will help in case of soft masses)
6. However get an appointment and see your doctor and do needful investigations.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
