Getting the lump in your neck can create a feeling of fear. Of course, we should not conclude, but it is essential to seek professional evaluation. While most of these lumps are non-cancerous, they need a thorough assessment. Mr Adeel has expertise in diagnosing and treating neck and throat lumps.

Causes of neck lumps:

Swollen lymph nodes: Mostly secondary to infections, but the possibility of cancer needs to be ruled out.

Thyroid nodules: Most thyroid nodules are benign (non-cancerous), but some may need further evaluation to rule out cancer.

Lipomas: They are fatty lumps and are commonly benign.

Cysts

Throat cancer: like tongue, tonsil and pharynx cancer.
