What Causes A Lump Behind The Neck Of A Child?

My granddaughter is 6 years old and just had oral surgery to remove her six year molar because of a cyst or tumor--we have not found out yet--and Tuesday she complained about a knot on the back of her neck. It is tender to the touch and is about the size of a quarter. What could this be? Could it be related to her surgery?

Hi
Welcome.
It is difficult to comment on lump without examination, i would suggest you to see local doctor for examination and further help.
It might be folliculitis,or subeceous cyst or lymp node swelling.
Hope this helps
Take care
