I have a large lump on the left side of neck-neck-it has been bothering me for about 6 months now and getting larger. I was just in to my heart doc last week and had ultra sound done on neck and leg veins doctor said it sounded gurglie and possibly the vein was blocked. would it keep getting larger and hurting more? He is soposse to get back to me in am, but I am concerned about this problem
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history and understood your concerns. Large lump on the neck for 6 months that is getting larger needs a proper clinical evaluation by a General Surgeon or an ENT Surgeon in view of the ultrasound showing dilated vein. Surely it will get larger. If this is so, you need to consult a Vascular surgeon too. This can be due to an aneurysm, might have been due to some trauma or may be due to inherent weakness in the wall. I would advise you an MRI and angiogram to get the clear picture so that further management can be planned. Also needed is tests of blood particularly for V Chat Doctor.
