A member asked:
What are the chances of a hard immovable bone like lump in neck turn out begnin? not a cyst or infection
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Biopsy: Hard nodes fixed to surrounding tissues are often malignant. But have seen calcified granulomas present like this, due to TB and other slowly progressive infections. The biopsy is the answer.
