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 Chat Doctor 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 an 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 Chat Doctor. Have a good day.
