A member asked:
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?

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.

Any number of things: Lumps in the neck can be caused by a number of things. They range from benign (like lymph nodes responding to an infection, cysts, or non-cancerous tumors) to serious conditions like cancer. Your doctor, after doing a history and physical exam can help you and recommend a specialist if needed.
