My mom had a chest CT, and they found an enlarged left supraclavicular lymph node compared to last year's scanit went from 1.07 cm to 1.30 cm. I'm a bit worried and want to understand more about what this means. What steps should we take next, like any further tests or actions?

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've had this lump inside my left chest for over two years now. It's pretty weird because I can feel it when I touch it, and it hurts then, but otherwise, there's no pain. The size hasn't changed, and there aren't any other symptoms. I'm not on any medication, but I'm really worried it might be a tumor. Any idea what this could be?

Is a single swollen and painful lymph node something to worry about could it be a sign of cancer? And if it is, can they just remove that one lymph node with surgery or do they have to take out more?

Single swollen lymph nodes often resolve with infection. If persistent, hard, or growing, FNAC or biopsy may be required. If cancerous, surgery may need to remove more than just one node.
