Lipoma and an infected sebaceous gland may present with a lump and tenderness also. Lipoma may appear in areas of the body rich in fat such as the abdomen and back. The lump is doughy in character and may be movable and slip through the fingers when you palpate this.
Refrain from touching the area. My primary differential here is EBV or infectious mononucleosis.
It was just a benign tumor and was not cancerous. This lump grew inside of my gland in my neck which is very rare. They usually grow on the gland. If I were you I would go to the doctor and get it removed and have them test it to see if it was cancerous. My doctor told me that if you touch the lump and it moves freely its cancerous, if it dosn't move then its non cancerous and is just a benign tumor.
Good Luck.
4 days ago I got a painful swollen gland in my neck, i have not been sick w/ a cold or anything that would cause this...when i google'd for the symptons and saw this forum i couldn't believe it because I too use Listerine Pre Brush Whitening. I have discontinued use of it as of 4 days ago and my swollen gland has not changed.
Not sure if this is a coincedence but I have never had a swollen gland in my neck before!

So I have a lump or inflammation of what I presume is a gland between my large neck muscle and under the back of my jaw line. Last week I was ok but developed a sore throat and headaches late last week and by the weekend I had a sore throat, vomited once and developed a sore neck and this lump all in the space of a day. I dunno what it is but if I turn my neck now it's not that painful but before it felt like I had strained a muscle in my neck and the lump itself is quite tender to touch.
My mother is 87. She woke up with a large painful lump under her tongue. It was painful to touch the side of her mouth and under her jaw on the left side. She ate her breakfast of a breakfast bar and milk. At the end of her breakfast she tasted something very salty. When she felt her mouth the pain was gone and so was the lump. Can you tell me what this could be and if we should worry about it.
s up through my left abdomen as well and I even have a little swelling in the left gland in my neck. Could this be some kind of lymphatic infection?? The doctor felt the lump and said because it was seperate from the testicle, it can't be cancer. Problem is, the pain is killing me and I no longer have health insurance. Could this be life threatening? All my blood work came back OK as well.

Can someone give me some advice about what it could be plese i am afraid it mite by cancerours or a cyst. Do you think tht i should get it check out by the by doctor.
Thank you Dr. Santos,
Do you think the symptoms of my throat and my glands, and the pain that radiates in different parts of my neck are related? It seems that they should be, the "lump in throat" feeling started first, for about a week, and then the gland hurt in my neck, and then that stopped and traveled up to just below my ear, and then went over to just below my ear on the other side...
Hi, hoping to get some insight here, because I'm really afraid.
It all started about three months ago with a feeling of a lump in my throat. Not an actual lump, but the feeling of one, right below where my adam's apple would be (I'm female though). I'd feel it on and off through the day, sometimes not so bad, and sometimes very noticeable. When I eat or drink anything it gets better though, the feeling of the lump goes away.
Hello. I get a lump on my earlobe every now and them. They grow to about 1 cm in diameter and are usually not painful or itchy. They go away spontaneously after a couple weeks. However, I got another lump, and this time, it extended down a little below the earlobe. I lanced it and tried to squeeze it, but I couldn't get anything to come out.
Hi there,
I'm 23, and last night was woken by an extremely painful nipple. There is no physical reason for this pain, but this morning I have notices a swelling and lump that has come up - around the size of a 5p piece and it is very painful. The surface of the skin is just as painful as the lump itself, and although there is a lump there, it is not of substance, as in I can't feel a lump under the skin, and when you stretch the area, the swollen area does not protrude.
I do have swelling on my right side of my neck with some pain that is in the lump, jaw and ear. My doctor thinks it is my thyroid. She had a test ran that she called a T4 Free and a TSH but she says it is normal. It does not look normal to me.
T4 Free shows results of 1.09 with a range of 0.78 - 2.19
TSH shows results of 1.53 with a range of 0.47 - 4.68
The test also reads > fatigue, low T3
what does this all mean. I have a Ultra Sound Schedule for the Lump in my neck.

Hi there. I have a lump, possibly a swollen gland on the left side of my neck, close to the jaw. According to the charts it looks like the jugulodigastric node and is right on top of the jugular. My best guess to size is just over a half inch. It isn't tender, just swollen. I just quit smoking and I'm 24 years old. I'm not sure how long it has been there, though I suspect its been a while (been monitoring it for a week now). I don't have any other symptoms that I'm aware of.
About two weeks ago I noticed a small lump under my left armpit. This was right below my extra milk gland and not painful. I was told I have a lot of breast tissue under this armpit and when I breastfed my children I always had a large milk gland where I couldn't put my arm all the way down.
Now There is a lump and after finding it two weeks ago it is a little larger.

The lymph is a clear fluid that circulates throughout the lymphatic system, containing many infection fighting antibodies and associated cells. Lymph is filtered in the lymphatic glands, which are numerous in the neck upper chest, and in the groin.
When your body is fighting an infection, you might notice a slight bump in these locations. Sometimes these glands themselves become overloaded and infected.
