Hello. This could most probably be a lymph node. You will need a detailed history and examination. Lymph nodes become prominent in size in response to any inflammation in the body. A long standing lymph node needs to be evaluated to rule out chronic diseases/ malignancy. Please meet with an ENT specialist, they may prescribe additional tests such as a USG neck.
