Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears to be the lipoma, or a lymph gland, which is causing the pressure symptoms on the cranial nerves and the nerves from the cervical spine.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. If there are neurological deficit it should be excised by a neurologist.
After removal, it is to be examined by biopsy, for actual diagnosis and complete treatment.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
