Neck Lump or Swelling

Not all neck swellings are dangerous — but all deserve expert evaluation

Found a Lump in Your Neck? Let’s Investigate It Carefully.

Dr. Peerbaccus provides professional ENT assessment of neck lumps, glandular swellings, and masses, ensuring timely diagnosis and peace of mind.

What Could a Neck Lump Be?

Neck lumps may come from a variety of causes — many of which are benign. Common sources include:

◎  Swollen lymph nodes (from infection or inflammation)
◎  Thyroid nodules or goitre
◎  Salivary gland blockage or infection
◎  Congenital cysts (especially in children/young adults)
◎  Lipomas (soft fatty masses)
In some cases: signs of head & neck cancer

Symptoms That Warrant Attention

🟠 A lump that lasts more than 2 weeks
🟠 Growing or painful lump
🟠 Associated weight loss or fatigue
🟠 Trouble swallowing or moving the neck
🟠 Changes in voice or breathing
🟠 Lump in a smoker or alcohol user over 40
