How To Treat A Solid Neck Lump?
54yr old woman with mild cervical spondylosis for last 10 years, otherwise very well. A solid neck lump 8cm by 6cm left posterior triangle appeared 3/4 weeks ago. Did not respond to antibioitics or anti-inflamatories. Bloods normal, ultrasound unclear. Pain radiating down left arm and shoulder, pins and needles. MRI scan done but no results yet. Any ideas please. I am scared!

Hi.
8 by 6 cm is a large lump, and developed in 3 to 4 weeks has to have inflammation as its cause.
It is difficult to believe that the ultrasonography was unclear. Get another opinion, anyway wait for MRI , go for FNAC if the vascular element is not more.
Ultimately surgery alone will solve the disease and diagnosis.
You need a Surgery to remove this lump.
