A member asked:
Painless lump on the right side of my neck? is this a tumor or a cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite hard to tell: By looking and feeling, sometimes we shine a light, others we aim an ultrasound beam to detect the internal consistency. In the end it may need to be excised and looked at under the microscpoe to know, but intermediate steps are attempts at aspiration and looking at cells if any.
