A lump on the laryngeal node is usually a thyroglossal cyst, which is locally inflated and forms a nodular protrusion that can move with swallowing and is soft to palpation with clear borders and a smooth surface. This is due to incomplete degeneration of the thyroglossal canal after birth, and the blind end forms a congenital cystic lesion in front of the hyoid bone. Infection can make the cyst larger in size, locally red and painful, and the cyst becomes smaller after the infection subsides. Some people also mistake the hyoid bone above the laryngeal node as a swelling by touching it with their hands, so they should seek medical attention promptly for any abnormality and perform ultrasound examination of the neck to confirm the diagnosis if necessary. There are also malignant tumors in the larynx that break through the thyroid hyoid membrane to form a local mass. The size of the lump varies with the stage of the disease, and the texture is hard on palpation, with unclear borders and a non-smooth surface, and may adhere to the subcutaneous tissue or even the skin. If you feel that your body is abnormal, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible to distinguish whether there is a real abnormality and conduct a detailed examination to exclude malignant lesions.
