Neck Mass & Lymph Node Removal
Expert Evaluation and Surgical Management of Neck Lumps and Swollen Glands
A neck lump can be unsettling and while many are benign, some may require medical evaluation or surgical removal. Whether it’s an enlarged lymph node, cyst, or soft tissue growth, early diagnosis and treatment are key. Dr. Matthieu offers expert assessment and safe, precise removal of neck masses, ensuring both functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Common Causes of Neck Masses:
- Enlarged lymph nodes from infection or inflammation
- Benign cysts (thyroglossal duct cysts, branchial cleft cysts)
- Salivary gland or thyroid-related swelling
- Lipomas or fibromas (fatty or connective tissue tumours)
- Metastatic lymph nodes (in rare cases of cancer)
When to Consider Surgical Removal:
- Lump persists for more than 2–3 weeks
- Growing in size or becoming painful
- Associated with difficulty swallowing or speaking
- Causing cosmetic concern or asymmetry
- Requires biopsy or histological confirmation
Dr. Matthieu’s Approach:
As an ENT specialist with advanced surgical training, Dr. Matthieu ensures:
- Accurate diagnosis through imaging and clinical examination
- Minimally invasive techniques to reduce scarring and recovery time
- Safe dissection near delicate structures (nerves, blood vessels, glands)
Clear communication about what to expect before and after surgery
What to Expect
- Consultation: Includes a detailed exam and imaging (ultrasound, CT, or MRI as needed)
- Procedure: Performed under general anaesthesia, usually as day surgery
- Recovery: Most patients return to light activity within 5–7 days
- Pathology: All removed tissue is sent for analysis to confirm diagnosis
Aesthetic and Functional Care
Dr. Matthieu takes great care to preserve neck contour and minimise visible scarring, especially for masses located in prominent areas. For benign lumps, cosmetic considerations are always a part of the surgical plan.
