Could A Pulsating Neck Lump Be Related To Sinus Or Ear Infections?

My mother is 81 yrs old and has a large pulsating lump on the right side of her neck. She had a cat scan today to rule out an aortic aneurysm. It was negative. She is currently being treated for a ruptured ear drum, from an untreated sinus and ear infection. Could it be related or something else? Thank you

Hi, If I were her treating Doctor for this case of a pulsating lump, I would come up with only one and one possibility that is a hemangioma or some vascular tumor! And it is not related to any infection...

I suggest you to go for an FNAC test and doppler USG of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing her good health.
