What Causes Hard Lump On The Larynx?
My 17 year old daughter had her teeth cleaned a few days ago. The dentist always does a check of the mouth and neck. He said that she has a hard lump on her larynx. We never even noticed it but now when she stretches her neck you can feel it and it is large and hard. Any ideas?

Hello,
Thank you for writing in to hcm.
it is Advisable to consult an ENT surgeon regarding the lump.
The doctor may want to perform tests like laryngoscopy to visualise the lump better.
If it is causing any difficulty in eating?
Based on the type of lesion your doctor shall advice a medical or surgical line of treatment.
don't worry.
