Common Questions and Answers about Lump on upper neck
lump
Detected a lump on the upper right back of neck parallel to ear in the hairline last Fri. Saw my internist past Tue & had ultrasound performed. Report said, “hypoechoic structure measuring 1.9 x 1 x 1.4 cm within the scalp. It says possible lipoma but lymph node not entirely excluded”. I have 3 lipomas on right side of body but since I had Stage 1 melanoma on left side of shoulder a yr ago we are getting me into see the oncologist who removed my melanoma for further eval.
THe reason, I brought it up is because the type of swelling in neck, does not resemble the lump near the groin, nor the other lumps on my legs.
I will have it evaluated, but I am not as anxious as I was before. I was concerned about the groin lump, because it seemed to be in a place near the lymph nodes and I thought that maybe I was wrestling a low grade infection.
I do not have a fever or any other signs, so I am not sure that this it.
I am worried about a lump which I have noticed on the back of my neck. It is right in the centre of the back neck and ends about 1/2cm before my hairline. It is more noticable when I lean my head forward or lay down. I cannot notice it if my neck is in a normal, standing position.The lump is slightly closer to my head than my back. It is solid, it almost feels like bone. It does hurt slightly when I poke at it.
Hello, I have noticed a lump on the back of my neck. It is only on the left side. It is in the area circled in the attached pic. It is scary and i really just want too know if there is a chance it could be nothing to worry about. I had a few random panic attacks a couple months ago, and ever since ive been thinking something is wrong with me. So im hoping that it could be nothing. I hope that its not cancerous. If you could tell me the possibilities, it would be great.
I have noticed 1 lump on my neck (not the same one as before). the lump is at the back of my neck, up by the top to the left. The lump is small, pea size, it's sort of hard, it doesn't seem to move that much when pressed, it doesn't hurt that much when I press it down, but I'm sure it did burn a little when I did it not long ago.
I am 17, male...
Can someone help me out a little ?
thanks..
OK, my father has this lump that comes up on his forehead every now and then... but its soft.

He wears hats 24/7, so were thinking that it ma be a like a swollen sweat gland or something. the man dont like going to the doctor, so if we could get and idea of ma be what it is...
Hi there. about four weeks ago i developed a large red lump on my neck. it was on the right side and is just below the middle of my neck. the red lump went down within a week but has left a small pea sized lump that is hard but painless underneath the skin with no discolouration. could this be a sign of cancer? im thinking cause it came out like a spot it is probaly a boil, but would that leave a lump?
It started to get better but then I got the same pain in the right shoulder which travelled down my arm. At this point a lump appeared on my left side accross my 1st rib which was very painful to touch. The doctor I saw said it could be costocondritis. However the lump seemed to go away after a few days but the pain remained in my right shoulder. It then moved through my chest area around my heart and I had difficulty breathing as it hurt too much to expand my lungs fully.
For at least a decade or so I have had this small lump on my upper lip that came about after I got elbowed in the face playing basketball. 10 years later the small lump is still there and I have tried picking at it which has helped a little bit but its probably not the best idea. Someone told me that one way to get rid of it would be some kind surgery and that what I had was scar tissue. Any comments or suggestions would be helpful. I'll post a pic so you can see what I am talking about.
My 7 yr old daughter developed a lump in her neck just behind her scm on the left side of her neck.
Four months ago I took her to the pediatrician about it and he told me it was nothing kids have lumps.
I took her to a different pediatrician last week and he said it needed to be checked immediately as it has hardened and it not painfull at all to my daughter.
We seen a ear, nose and throat specialist on friday and he told me that it needs to come out asap.
m unsure. Ive had diarrhea on/off, a sore throat but only in the morning, a rubbery lump on the left side of my neck feels like about the size of a pea, some upper abdominal pain and nausea. I also had a lump sensation when I was swallowing for a couple days that went away, but only occurred when I was drinking not eating solid food. No fever or fatigue and I've felt very good besides these few problems.
Last night I noticed a lump on the back of my neck, on the right side, at the base of my skull. It's about the size of a penny and doesn't seem to be moving around or anything. It isn't real painful, only if I poke at it. I haven't had any visual issues, nor terrible headaches or nausea or anything.
I had my family and a couple friends feel it and they all said it feels like a tension knot.
It has been reoccuring often along with twingy pains up both sides of my neck. I have no problem swallowing but now I feel twingy pains in my upper chest and upper back. Sometimes I have a burning sensation in my throat as well. I do take prevacid for acid reflux/heartburn. What do you think might be going on? Do you think these are separate issues - the ear lobe infection and the lump sensation?
She also had some pain in the neck, shoulder and upper back. Went to her OBGYN today and she was told that thyroid seemed a little big and was sending her for blood work. Does this seem like a possible explaniation?
She has been to the ER, GP and maybe a specialist depending on her most recent medication. I just don't see how this can relate to a throid issue.
my dog has a lump on the side of her neck...not in the middle--more under her cheek.
she is a boston terrier and is overweight and has a couple of soft fatty tumors on her body but this lump on her neck is new.
I just noticed it today and its abt the size of a golfball, soft and she doesn't cry when i squeeze it gently.
what could this be? It doesn't seem to have a head like an abscess would.
Yes last june i had an ultrasound on my neck due to a nodule on left side right at the top of my neck next to my chin, my results were on thyroid on right side was 42x16x22mm, left thyroid measured about 44x20x20 mm, isthmus 3.6: than a few years earlier i had one done shoed right side 37x23x15mm left was 39x23x18mm isthmus 5.5 . The nodule on left side at top of my neck is felt more when turning my head or looking up it has enlarded a bit in a year.
I asked him why it is different now then it was then and he said if I had significant weight loss recently that it would (I have not) and when he was pushing around on it there is a specific spot that hurts on this bone or lump or whatever it is which I told him that it is tender when he pushes and he had no answer for that. He prescribed me muscle relaxers and told me to stretch.. which I have. I wasn't 100% sure about this diagnosis and wanted to ask if anyone knows what this could be?
Can a lump in my breast cause a nerve in my upper back to be pinched? I don't know if it has anything to do with it but my upper back feels pinched along with my leg and numbness in my toes.
I was diagnosed with fibroadenoma. I asked my doctor if the lump could be a reason and she said no because there aren't nerves that connect to the back, I can't remember really.
