A member asked:
Pea sized lump on area of scm in neck, for 2 months hard to move could this be aneurysm of carotid artery? will see doc next week, want to ease nerves
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Easy does it: A firm palpable lump on the anterior neck is very unlikely to be related to the carotid. If it is pulsating, that would be more worrisome.
