I have a lump on the back/side of my neck. I went to the doctors a year ago...but they put it down to being pregnant. Ive since had my son and the lump is still there. I am so worried that it could be lymphoma. It is a hard lump that does not hurt or move. I am 34 years old. Is there anything else it could be?
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Considering the long duration of its presence it seems to be a benign lesion. However, if I were your doctor, I would advise you to go for a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) followed by an excision biopsy of the lesion if indicated for a definitive cure. At the end, I would say that a physical examination is necessary before going for any invasive procedure, and so you should report to your treating doctor for the problem. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
