What Does Lump On Right Side Of Neck Indicate?
I have a lump on the right side of my neck about a 1/2 inch above my collar bone close to where a man's adam's apple would be. I just noticed it yesterday. There is not a corresponding lump on the left side. It is a little tender to the touch. what do you think that could be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
From the site you have described , this looks more to be a lump from a thyroid gland. It can be a lymph node too.
Clinically see if it is moving with swallowing.
The final diagnosis is best done by a simple ultrasonography and FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology. Further blood and other investigations are dependent on your symptoms and the signs the examining Doctor will find.
