Have A Small Lumps In The Throat?
Hi, I am 19 years of age, male. I have a small lump in my throat left of my adams apple. It moves when I swallow. I am quite thin and unable to put on weight but I've been thin all my life and thought it was high metabolism.
It looks like symptoms of a goitre but I am scared as my sister got recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
Could it just be a case of thyroiditis or even graves disease/hyperthyroidism?
Can you give me any advice, thanks.

Hello
Welcome in H.C.M.
I have gone through your query regarding an small lump in your throat near adam's apple. This lump moves with acts of swallowing.
According your clinical history it appears as you are having either of these-
1- Enlarged lymph node.
2- Thyroid lump.
3- Thyroglossal cyst.
Above possibilities may be ruled out by-
a- Ultrasonography of neck.
b- FNAC from neck lump.
My advice is to please consult your ENT doctor for clinical examination and after investigations your diagnosis will be confirm. Lastly according to diagnosis your treatment may be planout.
Regards.
