What's the reason why a lump protrudes on my neck when I look up?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I would like to ask why my neck protrudes when I tilt my head up. It feels thicker when I touch my neck without tilting it up.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, this female patient is 28 years old, and when she lifts her head, her neck protrudes. If she does not lift her head to touch her neck, the neck appears thicker than above. Based on the symptom observation, it may be possible to have a thyroid cyst or thyroid nodule. Your description is just a preliminary consideration here. An ultrasound examination, laboratory tests, combined with clinical examination, and endocrinology are needed for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.
