Hello
Since you didn't mentioned the age ,so it is very difficult to establish any diagnosis mere this knowledge.
But this type of unilateral swelling may be due to these possibilities , these includes.
1 Lymphadenopathy on the left side somewhere in axilla or armpit . Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination and M R I.
2 Stagnation of venous drainage on the effected side .
3 Elephantiasis is another such type which produces unilateral swelling. W. Bancrofti is usually responsible for such cause.
In my opinion you must consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination as well complete history of illness is important.
Good luck.
