What Could It Be If Having A Lump At The Right Side Of Neck In The Front?

I am 20 years old and recently I ve noticed a lump on the right side of my neck towards the front. I ve gained about 20-30 lbs since graduating high school. Also, starting last October I started having an irregular menstrual cycle and the past two months I haven t had one at all. I have not been sexually active recently so I know that there s no chance of being pregnant.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of frontal neck nodule, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     lymph nodes due to some chronic disorder like tuberculosis, lymphoma or chronic throat / neck infection or even malignant diseases in elderly people!
2.     The second possibility is of a colloid cyst of the thyroid or some other cysts like branchial cyst or lymphatic cysts or even palpation thyroiditis! This one is the best possibility in your case!     
3.     The last possibility is of some ulcer or infection in the innerside of your throat

I suggest you to go for an FNAC and USG of the region 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 you good health.
