What Does Lump On The Side Of Neck Indicate?

36 y/o smoker. Have had facial neuropathy for over 6 months on right side. head MRI/EEG in January were both normal. Have small movable lump on back right side of neck, and another in the front along the muscle just above collarbone. Getting a lot of burning sensations. Blood work in OCT was all normal, chest x-ray few weeks ago was negative. Still have burning, and now feel like have little knot right at the bottom of the tendon in the fron of my neck under my collarbone. My doc says the lumps seems normal, and have ENT appt this week. I'm really scared this is something awful. long history of cancer in family. I'm thinking the chest xray is a positive sign that this may be something benign??? Do you think tendon thing may be a tear/cyst?

Hi,Dear thanks for the query to HCM.I studied your query indepth.
-I advise you on
Cause and treatment- as follows
-You are worry-some and anxious, only due to the long-family history of Cancer .
-AS thought by you chest Xray is not the answer for diagnosing it.
-Ent opinion as advised by your doctor -will find out its cause.And your doctor is right in that advise,because-he has first hand clinical information which I am lacking herewith.
Still from the facts given -
a-facial neuropathy is -due to the Pleomorphic parotid-adenoma-which could be confirmed by a FNAC Biopsy from a Surgeon.
b-About the lump at neck-tendon-above collar bone-I would advise FNAC biopsy and Surgeons clinical-opinion report before commenting on its cause.
This would help you to plan a treatment for this query.
So dont worry and act fast ASAP.
Hope this would help your worry to take proper steps for health.
Wishing you fast recovery.
Wellcome again if you have any more query in this regard.Have a Good Day.
