What Causes Hard Lump On Left Side Of Neck?
Brief Answer:
Soft tissues ultrasound should be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
In this location lymph node is probable. And it can be much different than those found in case of Hodgkins lymphoma. I hope you are really sure that this is not a lymph node.
From other possible issues it can be a lipoma or sebaceous cyst. Both are benign and do not turn into a cancer. However sebaceous cyst can get infected and turn into an abscess.
If this lump is a hard like a bone, some spine changes should be also considered.
I suggest you to consult your doctor and have an ultrasound of this area done. This test should give the answer.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
