I had 2 lymph nodes removed 1 1/2 years ago everything all clear. I had meonoma on a mole in the middle of my chest. Surgeon went through all channels and all clear. Ever since the nodes have been removed I have had a lump in that place. I had a mammogram and they wanted me to have ultra sound to see what the lump was. Is it common to get scarring from the surgery
Hi, DEar, thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. I studied your query in depth.1-In My opinion the lump in the scar/ or the hardened-hematoma -is very rare occurrence -and is a case of -KELOID-excess fibrous deposits in the scar- and is a personal variation. I mean this in the background of Surgeons clear certification -after lymph node removal for the melanoma in the mole-in the middle of the chest. 2-I would advise you to -have -Inj-kenacort- if the lump-is confirmed as Keloid by biopsy ONLY.3- FNAC biopsy is a must before any treatment for the lump in scar post-surgery.3-a-I would advise -to consult Surgeon who would treat you on the lines suggested above.USG-may help to fix the reason to some extent -as your mammogram is done4-Hope this would solve your query.5-Wellcome for any more questions on new or this subject also... Hava A Good Day.!!
