Avatar f tn I was born with a small lump toward the lower end of my neck in the front. it doesnt cause me any pain but i am constantly asked if it is related to thyroid or fibromitosis.

Does anyone have an idea what this could be? concerned and confused.....

Avatar f tn About a month ago I discovered a lump in my neck. It is hard as a rock, doesn't move. It doesn't hurt or itch. It's in the back of my neck (lower part), close to my spine. It's about the size of a bean. Also, I've been tons of other symtoms, I don't know if they are related to the lump.

Avatar f tn 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.

1851642 tn?1319588196 I have this lump on the back of my neck, I've always had it, but not when I was a very young child. When I touch it, I can feel that it corresponds with my spine. Is there a way to get rid of it? Would it help to improve my posture or start sitting up straight?
Avatar m tn I had a small lump on my left ear almost a year ago. It causes pain when I touch it. After some time, it grew bigger. Now, there is another lump on my right ear. I went to consult a doctor and he said that they're just cysts and will not cause any harm unless they're causing problem to me then I'll have to remove it by surgery. Since they're not a big problem to me, so I decided to just leave them alone.
Avatar f tn I've had a painless lump on my neck for the past 5 and a half weeks. I had an ultrasound scan, and the provisional conclusion was that it is a branchial cleft cyst. However, I also had a blood test and my GP just rang me today and said there is an abnormality in my blood test results. My patient notes say: "Immunofixation shows the presence of an IgM kappa monoclonal band". Is this of extreme concern?
Avatar n tn They both revealed that I have several abnormal lymph nodes in the neck and supra-clavicle but that the nodes although abnormal because they are a little bigger (.5 of an inch) and the amount of them, they suggested to continue to monitor the situation. I am feeling a little silly to go back about the lump on my sacrum since they were not too concern about the MRI and CT-Scan but nevertheless it is still bothering be. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you all for your help!

Avatar m tn If I squeeze it, the pea-sized lump turns white. There is a tiny black dot in the center of the lump, most noticeable when I squeeze the lump and it turns white. While I can't be certain of any causal relationship, the development of the lump started almost immediately after a particularly extended period of barbell squats in the gym. I got tired and rested the bar (inappropriately) on my neck instead of the top of the traps. It was painful at the time, but easier, so I persisted.
Avatar f tn My son had a lump behind his ear (he's 30 ) but it still scared me. After taking all the meds from a Dr and still there he finally went to a Dentist and lump was caused from a tooth. Dentist gave him more meds treated the tooth and lump went away. You might want to get it checked out just to be sure it not from a tooth.
Avatar n tn Lipomas occur in 1% of the population. They presumably arise from fat that may occur in the back, hips, neck or other parts in adults. An epidermal inclusion cyst is a sac like structure with skin debris inside. These types of swellings are usually not malignant. You should consult a surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment. The diagnosis is through physical findings. Sometimes a needle biopsy or a CT scan may be done to confirm the diagnosis or rule out any malignant changes.
Avatar m tn Hello, The blood under the skin which causes the discoloration of bruising should be totally reabsorbed by the body in three weeks or less. Since there is a lump under the adam’s apple also, I would like to rule out any enlarged lymph nodes or thyroglossal cyst. To confirm the diagnosis I suggest you to get it evaluated from your doctor. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
