A mass is a thickening of tissue. Anterior means 'Front of', and neck means, well, neck.
A mass in that location could be involved with the thyroid and parathyroid glands, in which case it may be called a goiter. These glands required iodine to perform well and be healthy. Our diets are typically low on Iodine compared with countries who eat seafood and kelp (A major source of Iodine.)
So, to help people have good thyroid health, many decades ago, they started adding Iodine to table salt at the factory. That's why the salt box says, "Iodized".
