[|Human|] 12 year old daughter developed a lump under the skin above the left collarbone..did an xray found a cartilage mass is ordering a CT scan also...any clue on what is could be...it doesn hurt her...she has had swollen lymp nodes at a younger age but they didn t hurt either.
[|AI|]  Hello, It is good to know that you had CT done. Wait for the CT report. Your daughter has a history of swollen lymph nodes since a younger age.  Such lumps are commonly caused due to infection, enlargement of the lymph node, get her examined. The doctor may want to take a sample of the fluid for the test(study) to rule out cancer. Not all cysts & tumors are cancerous. It looks more like a lipoma, lipomas are harmless, if it is not growing there's no problem.  If it gets painful & affects daily life then it needs to be removed. Get your daughter evaluated & treated at the earliest.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
