                                            Question : Hello I was talking to you yesterday about my left collar lymph node, i got an ultrasound today and  i have attached the report, what do yu think?
                            
 
                                    Hello I was talking to you yesterday about my left collar lymph node, i got an ultrasound today and  i have attached the report, what do yu think?
                                
                            
                                    Brief Answer:
Nothing worrisome is mentioned in the report- details below
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask a Doctor service,
I carefully read your query and also checked the uploaded image.
As can be seen in the report the thyroid gland is normal and there is no mass or tumor present there.
As for the lymph node, it is only 3 mm in diameter, it is quite small. It seems the doctor did not mention in the comments any worrisome features.
To conclude:
- the thyroid is normal in the ultrasound examination
- the lymph node is quite small and the doctor does not mention anything worrisome
- I would just advise keeping an eye on it in the next month or two. If you think it is changing you may repeat the ultrasound examination and the doctor may compare it with the first one.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.

All the tests are within normal range- there is nothing to worry about
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome back,
I am so sorry you are anxious. On the other hand, all the tests you uploaded, blood tests and CT scans are all normal. This means that they have not identified anything pathological (abnormal) in your chest or abdomen.
By what I understood you have had CT even 2 years ago (it was mentioned that they did compare the CT with a previous one) and they did not find new changes. This is quite a reassuring thing.
Even the blood tests show normal ERS and CRP. These are often high if the patient is having a serious condition, especially infection. CBC is normal as well and also all the rest of the tests.
Please be reassured that there is nothing to worry about. It is such a small lymph node and you have done examinations of everything that you could and all is normal.
I hope this will help you feel more at ease.
I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Wish you good health and take care,

                                    Brief Answer:
The location is a bit higher than the supraclavicular fossa (groove)
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome back,
As you have marked it, I agree that it seems a bit higher than the usual area for supraclavicular lymph nodes. In any case, you need not worry. You have already had all the possible examinations to reassure you that you are going to be fine.
I hope you will be at peace with this and reassured that all looks fine.

                            The location is a bit higher than the supraclavicular fossa (groove)
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome back,
As you have marked it, I agree that it seems a bit higher than the usual area for supraclavicular lymph nodes. In any case, you need not worry. You have already had all the possible examinations to reassure you that you are going to be fine.
I hope you will be at peace with this and reassured that all looks fine.

                                    Brief Answer:
The nerve runs in that area as well, but the lump you feel is not due to it
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome back,
The supraclavicular nerve runs in that area but it does not cause thickness that can be felt through the skin.
Generally, nerves, blood vessels, and lymph vessels, as well as nodes, run altogether (where you find one, you may find the other). The ultrasound also confirmed that it was a tinny lymph node but did not identify worrisome findings.
I would advise you to just relax.
Wishing you good health and take care.

                                    Brief Answer:
The cord-like structure is the tendon of a neck muscle
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome back,
I checked the uploaded images. I am not sure what you specifically want me to see there. Are you worried about that cord-like structure where the white spot lays?
That chord-like structure is the tendon of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. It is not a nerve or something similar.
I checked again your CT scan report and it says that they did not notice any lymph node in the supraclavicular area (the exact groove where dangerous lymph nodes). Checking the picture where you mark the lump, it is also another confirmation that the lump you are worried about is a normal neck lymph node that very likely is due to a virus you are going through or a very minor infection.
I am not sure if I addressed your question but please feel free to let me know if you were trying to ask something else.
Kind regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj
