Tumors on the neck may be caused by thyroid diseases, such as goiter or thyroid nodules, or could be local conditions like sebaceous cysts, lipomas, or malignant lymphoma. It is recommended to visit a reputable local hospital for examination. Based on the test results and the patient's clinical symptoms, the specific disease type can be identified and appropriate targeted treatment can be provided.
