What is the treatment of small lump in the neck behind the lower end of the sternomastoid muscle?

Question

Hi doctor,

I feel a small lump in my neck behind the lower end of the sternomastoid muscle. I have felt it six months ago, and it has never changed. I have a mobile little mass of less than one centimeter. I fear it is a big thing, and I think I am obsessed with having cancer. I had no other symptoms. I am entirely healthy, but this lump concerns me. What to do?

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I think you have lipoma. Your fear of mass being nasopharyngeal cancer is far from it. If the mass is more than two centimeters, let them do a fine needle aspiration biopsy. Kindly schedule another appointment with me for a follow-up with the result.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
