More evaluation: There are many types of neck masses. It may be as simple as a bony extension off the side of the cervical spine to tumor. Since you seem to still have questions may need second opinion, needle biopsy, or imaging to arrive at diagnosis.

Get a second : Opinion and go from there. May need biopsy to find out what it is. Earpain and headaches may not be related to the lump.
