Neck lump: Lost of questions about painful lumps in the neck. Most likely, statistically, would be a lymph node(s). In youngsters this is most likely a virus infection such as infectious mono (epstein-barr virus). In older people one has to consider a lymphoma (form of cancer). With infections there is more likly to be pain and tenderness. Any lump that is growing needs ot be biopsied or removed.

See Head & Neck doc.: There is a broad list of causes of neck masses. If off to the side this is likely a lymph node. They can be enlarged from 1) normal response to inflammation 2) lymph node cancer 3) regional cancer moved to lymph node 4) weird infections. If this has been present for more than a few weeks please see a doc experienced in head and neck disease. Usually a Plastic Surgeon or ENT.
