I'm really worried about my mom. She's had these enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes for two years now. There are no signs of TB like fever, weight loss, or fatigue, and she's been managing her diabetes pretty well. There was nothing in the lymph nodes when tested for CBNAAT. The ultrasound showed they're quite large, and the biopsy results indicated granulomatous lymphadenitis. The document says TB needs to be ruled out, and the AFB stain came back negative. They also mentioned something about doing a TBPCR test to make sure it's not tuberculosis. The microscopic findings talked about some kind of granulomas but no caseous necrosis was found. TB PCR didn't show any sign of MTB or non-TB mycobacteria. I'm quite confused and worried about what all this means. Is this something serious? What should we do next?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with these lymph nodes in her supraclavicular area for two years now. They looked small at first, but an ultrasound showed two of them measuring 107 mm and 176 mm. She's also been diabetic for over two years, but her sugar is well-controlled with medication. There's no fever, sweating, or tirednessshe actually feels fine otherwise. What could this mean? What are the chances its something serious? I'm really looking for some guidance on what might be going on.

I've been diagnosed with fibroadenoma and complex cysts along with ductal ectasia in both breasts. What kind of medication would help manage this? Is surgery necessary, or are there other treatment options? Who should I consult for this a general physician or a specialist?

For your diagnosed conditions (fibroadenoma, complex cysts, and ductal ectasia in both breasts), medication is not typically the primary treatment. Instead, watchful waiting, monitoring, and in some cases, surgical or minimally invasive procedures may be recommended. You should consult with a specialist, specifically a breast surgeon or a specialized breast clinic for the best course of action

I've got this hard lump below my collarbone and above my breast that feels like bone and it's been there for over two years. It doesn't hurt or anything, so I never worried much about it. But recently I got this rash, and the dermatologist said it's pityriasis rosea. Theres also a swollen lymph node on my neck and I just noticed another hard, immovable, and painless lump below the first one. Should I be worried about these lumps?

Yes don't neglect visit Surgeon for evaluation of the lump and get appropriate treatment.
