Have dime-sized lump on lower neck for years. Can it turn into cancer?
Patient: Hi I'm 20 male and I've always had a dime-sized pebble under my skin on the lower back of my neck. My friends tell me if it doesn't hurt or grow in size then I should not worry about it. But I don't want this to become cancer because so many people passaway by cancer. Please I need advise I don't want to have surgery where I'm gonna be "Out" like what if I don't wake up? It can be scary Doctor: HIThank for asking to HCMNothing to worry about this, this could be simple swelling happening because of collection of some fat, called "Lipoma" this does not harm, neither turn into the cancer, this will remain there, without causing any harm you can remove this for cosmetic purpose, have nice day.
