Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  You have enlarged lump in axillary.  It can be enlarged axillary lymph node or soft tissue tumor like lipoma or some metastatic carcinoma.  You should go for ultrasound study first.  If it shows lump then you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
