A swelling in my neck

neck
Add as a preferred source

I am a 40- year old Civil Servant. I noticed a swelling in the right side of my neck about two months. Even though the swelling is not disturbing me in any way, I don’t like the sight. Kindly advise me on what to do as I don’t like any kind of operation.

It is usually advisable for any suspicious swelling to be removed for proper pathological examination. This can be done through the removal of just a small bit of the swelling (Biopsy). It is only when the Biopsy report shows that the swelling should be removed that a surgical operation can be undertaken.
