What Could Be The Bump On Back Of Neck?

I have a bump on my back neck which is the size of a small golf ball, however, every male in our family has had it and got it removed in their 40's and 50's, it is non-cancerous and does not hurt, it does once in a while bother me as it seems when i sit down i can feel an irritation in my back neck, like a pulling in the back of my neck, i am thinking of getting it cut out, or do i really need to if it does not inter fear with every day routines.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having chance of Lipoma which is non cancerous.
If it gives some problem then you can get it removed.
But you may not go removal unless it increases in size or gives some problem.
Ok and take care.
