Dr. Peng Xiaodong
Neck tumors may be sebaceous cysts, hemangiomas, or lipomas, or could result from thyroid diseases such as nodular goiter, thyroid adenoma, or thyroid cancer. Malignant lymphoma and other conditions cannot be ruled out either. It is recommended to visit a local reputable hospital for appropriate examinations to determine the nature of the tumor, followed by targeted treatment accordingly.
