What Causes Lump On Right Side Of Neck?

I have a visable lump/swelling right side of neck near thyroid. Many test done Doctors feel its a swollen muscle with no explanation I do have a 11mm nodule with goiter but they say this is not the problem. I have had CT scan ultrasound biopsy with no answers My blood work is coming back all fine, but my thyroid is coming back heteregenous/calcified. Just don't know where to go from here

welcome to Health care magic.
1.The lump near the thyroid - can be from thyroid gland or from the lymph nodes.
2.11mm thyroid nodule is not an issue if its not symptomatic and feature of malignancy ( cancer)
3.If it is heterogeneous, i think it need to be operated before it gets complicated.
4.If you are my patient and there is visible swelling causing cosmetic causes - I would suggest for an excision.
5.So its for you to decide and get back to surgeon and get needful things done.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
