What could a knot behind your left ear be that has been there for as long as you can remember but it doesn't hurt and could it be thyroid cancer?
A knot behind your left ear is probably a lymph gland. However, thyroid tissue can infrequently be found in other areas of the body outside of its normal placement. Early in embryonic development, the thyroid gland forms near the brain and migrates downward to its normal position in the lower neck. Sometimes "pieces" can be left behind during migration that function like normal thyroid tissue. Additionally, thyroid tissue can sometimes be found in the chest cavity or other body parts when the migration process has not gone properly.If you are worried about your thyroid, the lump, or cancer, go to your doctor for answers. Make sure you understand his/her explanation fully and ask for it to be noted in your chart including size, so if it appears to have grown you can go back and remeasure and seek further evaluation.AnswerThyroid cancer is in the neck. The knot behind your ear is probably part of your head. If you have had it awhile, and it hasn't grown, it is probably normal. You would have a knot in your neck if it were your thyroid.
What does a series of non painful lumps on the right side of your neck mean note have had for over 3 years and they have not increased in size and have not hurt?
I have a one on my neck as well, it is a 'knot' if you will( different than normal knots people talk about in their neck though). Just imperfections in muscle tissue, and harmless. Depending on where some them are, they could also be lymph nodes. Next time you see a doctor for what ever you can bring it up if you are so inclined but I would not worry about it too much.

It's important to monitor the size, shape, and any associated symptoms of the lump. If it persists or causes concern, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
