Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

1. By ultrasound neck there is a large fluid filled swelling in your neck. It is a benign cyst and not a worry for cancer. These cysts might have been there at birth and manifested to present size with time.

2. An epidermal cyst is a type of slow-growing lump underneath the skin. This cyst contains soft, cheese-like skin contents. These usually appear on the face, neck. This is a benign swelling.

3. Your thyroid function tests are normal.

You need to get cyst excised and that will treat your condition.
