A cervical lipoma is a growth of fatty tissue, generally benign, that appears in the neck region. It is usually noticed as a soft, slow-growing lump under the skin.
What is observed?: A movable, soft-textured, usually painless bump, which may remain stable or increase in size over time.
When to seek care?: If you detect a lump in the neck, especially if it grows, bothers you, or changes in its characteristics, it is advisable to have an evaluation to confirm what it is.
Which specialist treats it?: The general surgeon and the plastic surgeon evaluate this type of lesion; the otolaryngologist and the oncologist may take part depending on the location and the workup, and the general practitioner guides the first visit. Having any lump checked by a professional will let you clear up your doubts with peace of mind.
