What Is A Moving Lump At The Top Of Adam S Apple With Soreness Suggestive Of?
Hi, I m a 42 year old male. When shaving last night I notice my Adam s apple was sore to touch. At the top front toof my Adam s apple their seems to be a small lump which is odd to touch, never felt this before. When I hold this lump between my forefinger and thumb it feels slightly sore/odd and I can move it from side to side slightly squidgy. Is this normal and I ve never noticed before? If not normal would I need to visit the doctor?

Hello,
Possible causes like thyroid swelling or cysts like thyroglossal cyst must be ruled out.
An ultrasound scan is required to make a diagnosis. A fine needle biopsy may be required in case of diagnostic confusion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
