Could be many things, a cyst, thyroid etc, but MOST DEFINITELY.... your mum should go straight to her G.P to check it out a.s.a.p, don't take any chances with health....early detection, (and if is something that should be surgically removed ) is the safest and wisest option.

Go with your mum to give support and also to elevate your own worries.

Hope all goes well.. x

Best to let the Doc take a look, its probably nothing, but just get it checked out to be on the safe side.

cyst maybe

Sometimes lymph nodes will do that-swell. My daughter had one in her cheek that lasted for a bit and then went away. We did get it check out to make sure. Your mum should do the same.

i just ad one on my neck and its was a cyst iv just ad it removed in the hospital and ad 3 stitches it ad to b coverd up for a week and then the stitches out. its great now just a little red mark that will fade.i wud tell yr mum to go and get it seen to i was worrid at first now im glad i went.good luck.x

Can be a lipoma, that's just a lump of fat that can build up for no reason. My boyfriend has two (one on the neck) and my brother in law has two. My sister has one.
She should still check it out though, in case it needs removing.

don't surmise about what it could be, get her to the Dr, it might be nothing but if it is sinister the sooner it's caught the better. I'm talking from experience both my mum and myself have had tumours removed from our necks.Xx

Not enough there even for an educated guess. You have not given duration, site, past history etc. etc. best get her GP to check it.
