First of all,  "nothing to worry about" couldn't be any further from the truth.  While it is true that most lumps in the neck end up being benign, it is always a very good idea to get them checked out by a physician.  If you are young the lump could be a lymph node, a lipoma (fatty tumor) or some sort of cyst.  However many malignancies present as lumps in the neck.  This is especially true if you are over the age of 50 or if you smoke or if you drink heavily.  Thyroid cancer can appear at any age.  It would be helpful to know your age, smoking history, duration and location of the lump.  Also is it tender, is it getting larger etc.  My advice is to get it checked especially if it is greater 1.5 cm in diameter.  See your physician, or an ear, nose and throat surgeon.

It may be scar tissue that has formed there. I would demand that the doctor due an ultrasound or whatever it took to figure this out.You are your best advocate.

I think you need to have this checked out by a doctor. It could be any number of things, even a node. It could be a lingering infection. Let a doctor look at it and then you'll know for sure and you can get whatever treatment you may need. You don't need to be in pain like this. My heart goes out to you and I will pray that you get well soon.

All lumps are not cancer. That might even be a small hydrocoele(fluid in your ball-due to trauma) Sometimes even a lipoma or sebaceous cyst may be there Dont worry about the terms though tey may appear terrifyng they are benign.Go to your surgeon . They would let you know

It is likely a swollen lymph node and not a big deal.  However, I just got finished being treated for Hodgkin's Disease (Lymphoma, cancer in the lymph nodes and lymphphatic system)\n\nI had nodes in my neck and arm pit swell and the ones under my arm were tender even though it was cancer (often if they're tender it's just a benign cyst and nothing to worry about)\n\nYou should never feel stupid when it comes to ensuring your own health!  I just turned 25.  A lot of people didn't believe I had anything serious either, even my doctors at first, and I had cancer!  So it's best to just get to the doctor and get it dealt with early.  Luckly we caught mine in stage two and now I'm in full remission.

could be an infected hair follicle.  Not serious, just painful\n\ncould be an enlarged lymph node.  indicating infection "draining" from somewheere nearby.  Could be serious.\n\nCould be something else\n\nYou'd need to see a healthcare practitioner for an accurate answer to your question.

The chances are the lesion is benign- intraduct papilloma or some other benign lesion. Depending on your age. My suggestion is to go see a doctor; usually a fine needle aspiration which is almost painless will clarify the issue.\n\nKuris, MD

can you get hold of it and move it around freely between your fingers (it isnt attatched to the bone or anything else) then it is a cyst,or if it is where your adams apple is it could be a growth on your thyroid gland.get it checked.

Sounds like a Baker's cyst. These are common and usually not too serious.\nYou should still go see a doctor anyways.

I DON'T WANNA SCARE YOU AND TELL YOU THAT IT MIGHT BE CANCER BECAUSE AS SOON AS WE HEAR THE WORD LUMP THAT'S WHAT WE ALL START TO THINK. IT COULD BE A ULCER, OR IT COULD BE ANYTHING NONE OF US HAVE GIVING YOU X-RAY'S SO THERE FORE WE WOULD NOT KNOW TRY AND GET SOME X-RAYS BECAUSE THIS CAN SEE YOUR ORGANS AND INSIDE OF YOUR BONES. THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS AND YOU CAN TAKE IT FROM THERE. I HOPE THAT YOU FEEL BETTER AND MY BEST WISHES ARE WITH YOU.
