General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history and understood your concerns.
large lump on the neck for 6 months that is getting larger needs a proper clinical evaluation by a General Surgeon or an ENT Surgeon in view of the ultrasound showing dilated vein. Surely it will get larger.
If this is so, you need to consult a Vascular surgeon too.
This can be due to an aneurysm, might have been due to some trauma or may be due to inherent weakness in the wall.
I would advise you an MRI and angiogram to get the clear picture so that further management can be planned.
Also needed is tests of blood particularly for VDRL.
I find this answer helpful
