Here’s the deal:
About 4 years ago, I noticed a mass on the front of my throat. It moved up and down as I swallowed, almost as if it were attached to my Adam’s apple. It was painful to the touch and when I swallowed or yawned. I went to an ENT doctor who did a biopsy. He determined that the mass was not on or affiliated with my thyroid. He sat me in a chair and stuck a needle in my neck to suck out some of the contents of the mass (not very fun at all). His nurse put the contents on a slide, prepared it right away, and looked at it under a microscope in his office. They both determined that the mass was cystic and benign. I was scheduled for surgery to remove it the next day. That night, I went home and prayed hard that I wouldn’t have to go into surgery. The thought terrified me. I had an ultrasound scheduled at about 10 am the next morning. I woke up and felt my throat, and there was no mass anymore. I told my mom, and she called the doctor. He still wanted me to come in for the ultrasound to determine if it was still there. I went in for it, but the ultrasound tech. couldn’t find anything. So, they released me and there was never any surgery.
Now, just a few days ago, the mass is back. It’s the same pain, and it’s in the exact same spot. It moves with my Adam’s apple, and it hurts when I touch it. I’m going to be calling the doc to get this all figured out soon. But, I thought I’d get some opinions. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Has anyone ever experienced this before?

This Is Not About Pregnancy, But No One Else Is Answering My Question?
Posted on December 7, 2010.
I had a benign cyst on my foot that would come and go because I would pick at it. Your doctor might have sucked out all the stuff that was in it and that’s why it went away because there wasn’t anything built up in it to puff it out. Now it sounds like it came back with more fluid, which happened to my cyst too because I thought it was pimple or something and just would pick at it until it went away. I’m sure it came back and you should make a doctor appointment and get rid of it as soon as possible because cysts can come back as cancerous.
Sorry you had to look into the pregnancy section to find an answer.
no experience with anything like that and this question is best asked of a doctor, sorry.
good luck!
How strange I’ve never had anything like that happen to me. As I was reading your question I thought it might be your thyroid, but then you said it wasn’t. I would definitely go back to the Dr’s office and have him take another look. Maybe a surgery will help to identify the problem. Good luck and I hope it’s not anything malignant
