Question 1

squishy oval shaped lump on big neck vein. is this just part of the vein?

Accepted Answer

Lipoma?: Not able to be certain without examining area but I suspect you might be feeling a lipoma which is a small collection of fat. It's harmless.

Question 2

i have a lump in my neck near the vein?

Accepted Answer

Lump: In order to evaluate a neck lump, patients should consult their physician who will examine the lump and may order an ultrasound, ct, or mri.

Question 3

i have a 2 small lumps on my left side of neck feels like in my vein. woke up this morning with pain and neck stiffness. ?

Accepted Answer

See your PCP: Many things to sort out!
Nodes
Mass
Inflammation 
Venous clot
Likely to need some exams and testing

Question 4

it feels like my jugular vein on the right side of my neck has a lump. could it be a swollen gland?

Accepted Answer

How do you FEEL?: If the palpitations are not taking your breath away, or causing you to faint, and usually are fewer than five per minute, just mention them to your physician at the next visit. Otherwise get seen now.

Question 5

30 yeaes old. have pea size lump on big vein in my neck. tender to the touch. what could it be. i get them in my groin area to but those are painless.

Accepted Answer

Lymph: This may be a lymph node which is tender because it formed acutely. If it doesn't recede after a week or if it continually enlarges or if a cluster of them appear, have your physician examine you. He/she will order any appropriate tests.

Question 6

there's a small lump noticed months ago about 1/2way down side of neck under skin, not like a pimple. can't tell if it's vein or cartilage. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Neither: A lump in neck is neither cartilage (which, in the neck, is always connected to bone) nor vein (which does not form lumps). The only way to diagnose what it is is to have a doctor feel it.

Question 7

have had lumps in jawline/chin and one in side of neck feels like in vein.  have had multiple tooth infections but lumps haven't gone away in long time?

Accepted Answer

Get checked: You may want to have these lumps checked by your dentist or doctor. If you still have active oral infections they could be swollen lymph nodes and could be potentially life threatening if not checked.

Question 8

i had a ct scan done for a lump in my neck. dr. found enlarged veins in the back of my head. what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Enlarged vein: Not clear. Were these veins in your brain or over your brain or in the scalp? Sounds like an incidental finding of likely no clinical significance since that is not why you had the scan. What kind of scan did you have and what was the lump in your neck? You will only get useful answers if you provide useful information.

Question 9

i found a lump on my neck today it is about  the size of the palm of my hand, my rt arm has been hurting, my veins ache, no strength in my hand ?

Accepted Answer

Need to see your MD: Lump of that size need urgent attention , and investigation including biopsy.

Question 10

squishy lumps@base of neck in triangle area above collarbone. sides of face swelling w/ numbness. pain n large veins both sides of throat. doc no help?

Accepted Answer

Follow up: I would recommend you follow up to be seen directly. Although there are multiple possibilities, one of the more likely  findings you are describing is lymphadenopathy, in which the lymph nodes are abnormally seollen often related to an infectious or inflammatory process.  You should be seen and fully evaluated for this and other potential causes.
