After my initial discovery of à small lump in my neck I had an ultrasound (result: infiltration of subcutaneous fat), a fine needle biopsie (result: inconclusive) after which the hospital removed the whole lump (result: you are ok). After the operation I soon felt à big lump forming which is still in my neck. It is really big. Scar tissue? I am deeply worried. You can actually see the lump. I was so happy for being ok. Do I have cancer after all?

What Causes Lumps In My Neck?
Hi, Welcome to HCM. If the lump has formed soon after the surgery, then it could be a hematoma (blood clot) due to a minor bleeding following the surgery. It will resolve in few weeks, depending upon the size. Keep a watch over it, if it gets painful or red, it means it has got infected and then it needs evacuation and antibiotics. Its not a cancer.
