What Causes The Soft Hollow Swelling In The Collar Bone?

Hi, I am a disabled veteran. can t seem to get in to the VA clinic and can t afford private. I had a triple bypass and some partial loss of liver kidney function, my teeth are rotting out of my head. I am a 61 year old male Vietnam era veteran. I have been diagnosed with CLL but have a very soft swelling in the collar bone hollow , very soft almost like fluid. Va told me they didnt know what it was and blew me off. I just want to know if it is dangerous, I have a 4 year old I would like to see at least to middle school... ..can t afford you either, just wishful thinking from a poor veteran

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi there.

It is possible there could be a lesion in the collar bone due to CLL itself or bone or soft tissue neck tumours. It needs proper investigation to find the cause like ultrasound or CT scan of the region. Keep with your CLL treatment regularly as advised. Consult your Head and Neck surgeon for the best management.
