What Can Cause A Small Pea-sized Lump On The Back Of The Neck?
I have a small pea-sized lump on the back of my neck. I ve had it for a couple years but it isn t tender or changed in size. My mother, an RN, said she believes it s a ganglion cyst and nothing to be concerned about unless it starts to hurt or grow. Would you agree?

Hello
The lump seem to be related to a ganglion cyst. They usually are harmless and don't require treatment. If the lump gets bigger you can do an ultrasound of the lump or a MRI for further evaluation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
