My 3 year old son has a small, bean sized (almost cyst-like) mass on the right side of his neck. any thoughts on what this could be?

Mass: It could be a lymph node or a cyst. I strongly suggest he sees his pediatrician for a proper evaluation.

Lymph node: There are thousands of lymph node located around the body that help screen out germs in the body serum before it returns to the circulation. There are many in the neck, head, behind the ear. At rest these are often 1/4 inch in diameter and may grow to marble sized when reacting to a stimulus. Bug bites, or viral infections can increase their size.They should shrink down to nl size over a few wks.
