What Causes Lumps On Side Of Neck?
Hi I am 30 years old and I have two semi mushy lumps on the right side of my neck that have been there for a couple of years now. They are painless and under the skin and you can't see them unless I bend my neck to the left. I have thought nothing of them until someone noticed them the other day by placing there hand on my neck and told me I should get them checked out as soon as possible. Any advice on what they could be and what I should do about it?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Neck mass - first thing generally seen is lymph nodal mass.
2.Since 2 year history - i would think of the thyroid mass lesions ( multi nodular goitre / mass lesions)
3.Lipomas also seen but rarely.
4.It can be confirmed by getting an ultrasound scan done to know where it is arising from and what it consists of and how it involving adjacent anatomical structures.
5.hope it helps.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
