[|Human|] I was diagnosed with follicular carcinoma about for years ago. I had my thyroid removed and have not had any problems. In the last couple of months, I noticed a lump behind my right ear. It s about the size of an eraser and tender to the touch. I have also been itching where my incision was. It almost looks like some sort of rash. Is it possible that they are related to my thyroid cancer?
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  You may have some enlarged lymph node.  It may be due to some reactive hyperplasia due to infection.  Or you may have some soft tissue tumor or cyst.  Chances of follicular carcinoma metastasis is very rare.  Follicular carcinoma rarely metastasize to lymph node. Still you should go for biopsy. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
