What Does A Large Mass On Neck Indicate?
Hi. my mom has a large mass on the back of her neck. it is about 4inches wide and 2 and a half inches long. it is hard around the edges and soft in the middle. it is very painful and it feels like it is choking her out. it has been there for 14 years. no tests nor x-rays has been done on it to determine what it is.

Hello,
I can understand your concern for the large mass on neck. After analyzing your query with diligence it appears to be related to growth from inside the neck.
Most of your symptoms indicate an internal growth of tissues at the affected site. In your kind of cases either a biopsy or a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is required to rule out the exact cause. I suggest you to meet a surgeon to get proper treatment.
All the best
