What Are Neck Abnormalities?

Neck abnormalities refer to any irregular swelling, mass, cyst, or deformity in the neck region. These can be soft or firm, painless or tender, and may appear gradually or suddenly. Many of these are benign, but some may need surgical correction for complete resolution.
