Brief Answer:
As discussed in details.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your partial feedback.
If there is a marble like lump in the neck which can not be moved easily, the most probable cause is a lymph node.
This can be confirmed by the following things:
Ultrasonography and FNAC that is fine needle aspiration cytology.
Clinical evaluation by a Surgeon.
For the lump in the scrotum, I would advise you the following:
Ultrasonography with color doppler of the scrotum to know the exact diagnosis and thus be assured.

I hope this answer helps you.
