Should I Be Worried Of The Lump On Back Of Lower Neck Which Is Movable?
I have a knot (lump) on the back of my lower neck where my neck meets my shoulder its in the center by my spine, its hard but you can move it around alittle its about the size of a large marble? my chiropractor says its a sist but am concerned . ideas?
It is a benign collection of fat cells. It can usually be left on its own if it is not causing any trouble.
But if there is any associated pain or there is any sudden increase in size, then you can see a dermatologist or a surgeon for its removal.
Hope it helps,

Hi, Looks like you have a lipoma. It is a benign collection of fat cells. It can usually be left on its own if it is not causing any trouble. But if there is any associated pain or there is any sudden increase in size, then you can see a dermatologist or a surgeon for its removal. Hope it helps, Dr Geetika Paul MD ( Dermatology)
