[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A firm swelling midway between end of neck and shoulder could be a swelling arising from the muscle or the surrounding soft tissues. A X-ray of the region will help to determine the site of origin and extent of the swelling. The X-ray should be followed by an aspiration cytology from the swelling. In aspiration cytology, cells are aspirated from the swelling, spread on a slide and stained with appropriate stains. This investigation will determine the exact site of origin of the lesion and its nature. Management can be planned after clinical assessment, performing relevant investigations and thus treatment. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
