hard lump in neck under skin
I have had a lump in my neck for 7 years. I have buried my head about it till now afraid of what it may be. The lump is non painfull and about the size of a marble. It is slightly visible and protrudes maybe a tenth of an inch from neck. it has grown very slightly in the seven years. The lump is hard and mobile under skin. it feels like its attached to the skin underneath. the skin over it is normal colored. it is located directly in the middle front of neck just beneath my adams apple. Can anyone tell me possible diagnosis of such lumps. I have no medical insurance and want to know how serious this may be. Please help Matt..
In 2001 a Lump appeared under my adam's apple about one inch below it. It became a matter of concern and sought medical attention they could not get a positive diagnosis and wanted to do sugery to check it out. I agreed Biopsy came back non cancerous 9 Doctors gave their opinion while I laid opened up on the table for 10 hours. Thyroid was removed. The cause was, when I was born I had an enlarged thymus gland and they used Xrays to burn it down. They did and they also fried my thyroid in the process. The transformation in body and spirit has been uplifting to say the least. My thoughts are if anything appears on your neck in the throat area. RUN don't walk to the doctor and get it fixed NOW! I walked around for 53 years unaware what was in my neck until one day it pop it's ugly head. If you have a lump somethings wrong.

DocBoston, I have the same thing as Mbradyc, except I have many of them. Is there any way I can get them to go away without surgery?
About two and a half years ago my father felt a lump on the left side of his throat about two inches below his ear. It seemed to be growing so he went to the doctor and had a CT scan. And yes it turned out to be cancer. A squeosma (spelling?) cell carcenoma. The best guess is that it was from cancer cells that migrated to his neck from a spot of skin cancer that he had removed from just infront of his left ear. Now two and a half years, three surgeries, thirty radiation treatments, and 4 chemotherapy treatments later he has growths on his collarbone and the base of his neck. All expanding out from under the skin and one of which is starting to ooze because it is pushing through the skin. And we are now waiting to hear from his surgeon as to whether or not another surgery is possible. Why do I post all this, you may ask? Because cancer ***** and I want to urge anyone that finds any unusual spot or lump to get it checked as soon as possible. My father was lucky in one way, he has decent insurance. I of course, like many others in this economy, do not and it freaks me out.
two days ago I found a small lump on the left upper side of my neck close to the top when I touch it it hurts and when I move my neck some times. When I swallow it does not hurt.
I am only 15, 16 in December can you help me ?

i have 3 lumps marble sized -1 exactly under my left jaw not mobile but protrudes the skin when stretched........the other 2 exactly underneath about 6 inches right above my collar bone that are a little smaller but move about a fingers space----please respond if u no anything
Can someone help me figure this out.
My father lives on an island where there is no good medical facilities, the closest one would be in Hawaii which is 2,000 dollars away. He has been seen for this problem by the doctors on the island he's at, but they don't know what it is, and so far they've put him on I believe 3 different antibiotics to see if it goes down.
He's almost lost his voice - been 3 months now.
The doctors found a lump in his neck after doing a scan of some sort. Since then, the lump has now formed liquid that protrudes and moves around his neck - one day it could be over the lump area, then the next it's moved to the front of his throat.
He is also having a hard time swallowing. He says that when he swallows, more air goes down than the now puree'd food. The doctors have now been injecting him with the antibiotics because he is unable to swallow them.
The swelling has grown and has spread to one side of his chest. So from the neck to the chest area has swelled.
My father says that he is in no pain.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Thank you
