[|Human|] I have a lump that is sort of right below my adams apple..it seems squishy and does not hurt...I am going to see my doctor about it next week but wondering if you have any ideas about what it could be.I am 43, 5ft 5inches and about 160 lbs...with no significant medical history..other than both of my parents died of cancer (lung, pancreatic and lymphatic).
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. This can be a thyroid swelling most commonly. If the swelling moves up on deglutition, it is a thyroid swelling.Also, this can be a hypoglossal cyst if it moves with protrusion of tongue. Or this can be less likely an enlarged tracheal or laryngeal lymph node or subhumid bursitis. Consult your doctor for local examination, so that appropriate investigation can be advised. Treatment is done accordingly. Hope this information is useful. Wish you healthy life. Thanks. Regards.
