Hello and welcome to HCM,
A lump in neck region is commonly due to lymph node enlargement, although other causes like soft tissue swelling, cyst etc are other possibilities.
I suggest you to get an ultrasound and aspiration cytology of the lump to know the origin and cause of swelling.
You may consult your primary healthcare provider for prescription of these investigations.
Thanks and take care
