Can Bump At Back Of Neck Be Symptom Of Cancer?
my husband has this "bump" at the back of his neck, he told it was a fat globule, so he squeezed and we observed this white (no pus) secretion coming out. However it grows every week. and he squeezes it. He went to see the doctor and he was told this was a fat globule. However, im worried as he had Hodgkin Lymphoma 10 years ago....... He has been 'cancer free" from these 10 years but again I am worried about this bump

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your symptoms suggest mostly it may be lipoma. However you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology once from that bump to know exactly. Then take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
