Hi, just had a quick few questions. To start of I am a 24 year old male phsically fit. I have no symthoms really beside having a small lump on my neck in the spot where the posterior cervical nodes are. It's only on my left hand side a little under my ear/hair line. The node is approx 1.2 cm long by .7 cm wide (i am guessing). I noticed it when I was using two mirrors to shave. I turned my head one way and it popped out a little. The node seems to move under the skin, is a little hard but has a little give to it. As for how long it has been there, I sort of remeber feeling it there as long as 2 years ago or more but can't be positive.

Should I be concerned?

If it was cancer, how long would it stay there before enlarging or me getting other symthoms?

Even though it is unllikely to be cancer, I think the best think would be to show this to a physician. What you described is a moderate-sized nodule, which might not even be a lymphnode.

best regards
Dr Leo.
