What Is The Hard Non-movable Lump Below The Collar Bone?
Hi I have found a hard, non-movable lump underneath left-side of collarbone. I believe it s the infraclavicular lymph node that is swollen and hardened. I ve done some very preliminary research but wanted to inquire as to the possible causes other than lymphoma or breast cancer. Thank you very much for your time and attention.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.No, breast cancer will not be seen in supra clavicular region generally.
2.I would think in terms of lipomas initially - if there are no primary pathologies known to.
3.If any primary pathology is there then i would think of a lymph nodal mass.
4.In any case an ultrasound scan would figure out the content of the lesion and the extensions and involvement of adjacent structures.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
