Résumé
A neck lump is a medical disorder where there is a lump, bump, or swelling in the neck. Lumps observed or felt in the neck are common. Sometimes the patient may notice a lump in the neck when looking at a mirror or another person notices the lump and informs the patient. Most neck lumps are benign (non-cancerous) but it is always advisable to have it investigated to determine the underlying cause or disorder.1.
The most common lumps or swellings are enlarged lymph nodes. These can be caused by viral or bacterial infections, malignancy (cancer), or other rare causes.2. The second most common lump in the neck is a congenital neck swelling called the thyroglossal duct cyst.3. Lumps in the muscles of the neck can also be caused by injury or torticollis.4. Lumps in the skin or just below the skin are often produced by cysts, such as sebaceous cysts.5.
Swollen salivary glands under the jaw may be caused by infection or cancer.6. The thyroid gland may also produce swelling or one or more lumps.
