Hello and welcome to HCM,
A lump in the throat can be inflammatory, or neoplastic.
Polyps are common lesions in the throat.
Since, the lesion is causing difficulty in swallowing and breathing, it is necessary to excise the lesion.
Before excision of the lesion, an imaging study of the throat is required to assess the site and extent of the lesion.
Before excision of the lesion, biopsy of the lesion is required.
Thus, consult your ENT specialist for clinical assessment and management.


Thanks and take care
