Is It To Be Concerned About The Lump Under The Neck Of A Child?
My son is 5 years old, and recently we noticed a lump at the tip of the clavicle bone just under his neck. Ultrasound suggested is it a Ganglion. Is it dangerous? Would it disappear by itself? Could it be caused by an accident as he is an active child.

Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic forum.
The most likely possibility is a lymph node enlargement,for which we have to look for the cause like surrounding infection. Other possible causes include gangleon,as you mentioned. Kindly see your doctor for a proper physical exam and management. A biopsy or FNAC ,if needed will clinch the diagnosis.
Thank you
