What Does Lump On Throat Imply?

Im 20 yrs old.i ve had a small lump on the center front of my neck/throat for over a year now. it started out small (about the size of a grain of rice) and has slowly grown to about the size of a pea. it feels like it is just under the skin. its hard and seems to move freely like its not attatched to anything. i dont feel any pain. any idea on what it could be?

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to a cyst or a lipoma. Anyway, before coming to this conclusion, I would recommend performing an ultrasound of the lump and biopsy in order to determine its nature.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
