There is a hard lump under the clavicle on the female chest

It is also common for women to have lumps on the chest and neck. The common cause is subcutaneous fibroma, which is caused by the atypical aggregation of fibroblasts due to the secretion of chemical fibers by fibroblasts. The boundaries are clear, the color is hard, there is no adhesion to the surrounding tissues, and it can promote. There are also other reasons. Let’s discuss what the reasons are below.

What causes lumps on women's chest and neck?

Women have a lump on their chest and neck, which is the area where the neck and the upper edge of the breast meet. It is necessary to distinguish whether the lump comes from the top of the breast or from the inside of the breast. If it is a lump inside the breast, a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis of the shape, boundary, outer membrane, blood, thickening and other conditions of the lump should be conducted through B-ultrasound. Distinguish its benign and malignant changes, and decide on the actual clinical intervention measures based on the results of the differentiation.

If it is outside the breast and not covered by the breast, it should be considered that it is a lump-like shape formed by the angulation of the ribs. In fact, it is a normal rib shape, not a lump in the true sense. Some people have sagging breasts due to aging, and the skin on them becomes softer, in other words, there is less body fat, and the ribs are angled and prominent. In this case, color Doppler ultrasound can also distinguish them.

This location of the lump is often due to the following:

First, subcutaneous fibroma is caused by the atypical aggregation of fibroblasts due to the metabolism of chemical fibers by fibroblasts. The boundaries are clear, the color is hard, there is no adhesion to the surrounding tissues, and it can promote. B-ultrasound examination is needed to confirm the diagnosis. The second point is rib tumors, most commonly costochondroma and costal osteosarcoma. It is mainly manifested as a lump with clear boundaries and hard color, which cannot be promoted because of the connection between the ribs. The third point is breast fibroadenoma, which is a tumor caused by the proliferation of fibroblasts in the breast. The fourth point, sebaceous cyst, is a common disease caused by the retention of epidermal glands.
