Question: I've noticed a very hard knot almost as hard as a bone in my neck near the thyroid gland. I circled about where in the picture attached. what could this be?
Brief Answer:
This can be enlarged lymph node.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Hard knot in this area can be a lymph node. Lymph nodes are usually hard, rounded and movable. Especially if are enlarged due to inflammation.
However sometimes, if a lymph node is hard and not movable, cancer should be ruled out.
It is strongly recommended for you to consult your doctor and have thyroid and lymph nodes ultrasound.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
