A member asked:

Can a sebaceous cyst cause a swollen lymph node in your neck?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubtful: It is conceivable, but not likely, that a sebaceous cyst will be mistaken for a lymph node, but cannot imagine it causing a swollen lymph node. Perhaps another doctor will comment on my response and correct me.

Dr Villaplana and another doctor agreed
