Hi. Thanks for using health care magic. For the swellings you have in your neck I suggest you to do a Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of the lymph node and the other swelling(lipoma) separately and you can confirm the nature of both. This is more useful than a CT or MRI for your problem. Thank you.
