What Is The Cause Of A Lump On The Neck?

for the last two days, i was feeling a lumb just below my adam's apple.Initially it was painless.But due to frequent pinching it become little bit painful.
My doctor examined me and confirmed that it is nothing to worry.It is a a cyst due to gland malfunctioning.
I am very much eager to know what it is?
