What Causes Lump Towards The Neck?
I have a small lump 1-2cm right sided lump towards the rear of my neck. Cervical chain I think. Been in same state for over 3 months with no change or pain. No infections during last year to speak of but I do have ongoing sinus trouble and had Fess surgery 2years ago. I m 34yr old 140lb and 5 6 . Is this cause for concern on probably related to sinus?

Hello,
- It is possible that your sinus infection could have initially caused the node to enlarge. It can take a few months to get back to normal size.
- Do you have dandruff or boils on your scalp?
- If this persists, I would suggest you get an ultrasound done followed possibly by an FNAC, where a sample of the node is taken for evaluation.
- Have you had any changes in your weight- gain or loss?
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
