L have tumor (bulge) in my neck in the right side i think its tumor in lymph node?
Mar 15, 2013

Dr. Jihad Achkar Otolaryngology (ENT)
Masses in the neck are not always tumors. Lymph nodes, salivary glands, or the Thyroid gland can swell up from inflammation or infection. Worrisome masses are usually very hard to touch, non- tender(they don't hurt), and fixed. Benign masses are painful to touch, most of the time, soft or rubbery in texture, and mobile. Either way, it's safer if you have it looked at by an ENT specialist.
