[|AI|]  Hi! Thanks for writing to and sharing your health problem in brief! In such cases of hard lump beside the neck with some breathing difficulties, if I were your family physician, I would first examine it carefully regarding its origin, mobility, any more lump in the surroundings and the status of thyroid as well! As per my experience of biopsy from neck lumps, I could suggest you few possibilities as listed below:1. Enlarged lymph node: could be just reactive or physiological, due to viral infection, tuberculosis, cancer or even lymphoma etc.2. Benign cystic lesions like bronchial cyst, thyroid colloid cyst, lymphatic cyst, sebaceous cyst etc.3. Inflammatory or tumor-like conditions like organizing abscess, dermatofibroma, neurofibroma or even lipoma. Therefore, you should not neglect this, and you must get it to a physicians notice for a definitive diagnosis and further management...
