What Is The Hard Ball On Back Of Neck? Have Spinal Tumor In Family
I have a hard ball on my "c7" or the top right of the back of neck. Spinal tumor in the family, and this ball keeps me from even touching my ear to my shoulder. I have had it Since elementary and I'm 16 now. What should i do? Any theories on what it may be?

Hi this may be simple benign cyst/tumor or due to malignancy.
If you can upload the photos of it and also describe how this feels, movement, whether adherent to the skin or underlying tissue, any lymphnodes near by and how the skin over it appears then we can explain better. An ultrasould over the mass will give good information on the diagnosis. Will be waiting for your reply.
