Lump in my mom's neck area

2018-12-29 17:20:53
Greetings, My mom has been having this lump type swelling which was very small initially but today when we saw it it has become big. May i request all the  doctors here to suggest and guide me and my family. We are very much worried as to if it turns out to be cancerous. PS: My mom has no bad habits like drinking smoking neither does she take non veg. She is a diabetic though since 4 years. Thank in anticipation to all Warm regards

Swelling looks like lymph node enlargement. She needs to undergo ultrasound of neck and fine needle aspiration cytology test to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed then treatment can be planned
