Neck lymphatic tumors can cause enlargement of the lymphatic tissues in the neck, which are typically hard in texture and have poor mobility. As the lymphatic tissue grows, it may compress the esophagus and trachea in the neck, easily leading to discomforts such as difficulty swallowing and breathing difficulties. In addition, it may also cause persistent high fever. Timely medical treatment is recommended.
