What Could Growing, Squishy, Green Lump On The Back Of Neck Indicate?

I have a lump on the back of my neck. Its firm but not hard, still squishy. It is kind of greenish in color, sort of like a vein. My doctor said years ago it wasn t cancer but its grown larger and still don t know what it is. It isn t painful just ugly. What is it?

Hi dear!

Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.
It may be lipoma. It needs tissue analysis by FNAC (if it has fluid in it or just a lump and whag kind of cells are those, it can be finalized on biopsy of the tissue).
So I recommend you to go to a General Surgeon. He will do all what is needed to diagnose the lump.
May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback to help us assist you in a better way. Click at 'I Find This Answer Helpful' & give a five Stars too. Write a review about your experience with me.
