54yr old woman with mild cervical spondylosis for last 10 years, otherwise very well. A solid neck lump 8cm by 6cm left posterior triangle appeared 3/4 weeks ago. Did not respond to antibioitics or anti-inflamatories. Bloods normal, ultrasound unclear. Pain radiating down left arm and shoulder, pins and needles. MRI scan done but no results yet.  Any ideas please. I am scared!
Hi.8 by 6 cm is a large lump, and developed in 3 to 4 weeks has to have inflammation as its cause. It is difficult to believe that the ultrasonography was unclear. Get another opinion, anyway wait for MRI, go for FNAC if the vascular element is not more. Ultimately surgery alone will solve the disease and diagnosis. You need a Surgery to remove this lump.
