I saw it this morning, its the very front of my throat. I'm a woman, but it almost seems to be where an adams apple would be. You can only see if I pull my chin inward, as if I was making a 'double chin'. Could it just be 'a womans adams apple"? or do those not exist. Im very nervous. Theres no pain, no other symptoms. I'm hoping its always been there, but Ive never noticed it.

There are no "women's adams apples", and it's unlikely that you suddenly had the cartilage that forms your larynx (voice box) suddenly enlarge.
This could be caused by all sorts of things, some harmless, some merely annoying, and some dangerous.
You'll probably want to mention this to your doctor on your next visit. If it continues to grow, or becomes painful, or starts interfering with speaking, breathing, or swallowing, make a Dr.'s appointment just for this.

I've had two lymph nodes that have swollen periodically for the past 15 years or so. The doctors thought it was a cyst for about 10 years, until an ENT diagnosed it as lymph nodes. Usually they swell when the rest of them don't because they don't drain properly as the others do. You don't have to worry about it, unless it swells really big and gets red; at that point you'll probably need some immediate attention. Just let it reduce on its own or get antibiotics if it's really bad.

I'm no doctor, but it could be a number of things, such as a swollen lymph node. Just make an appointment to go to a doctor, you could have an infection that needs some antibiotics.

May be a cyst or just voice box.
see your doctor not because there is something wrong,but because he will know within 1 second of seeing it and then you will know.
I know cancer lumps from what i have heard are like small hard peas feeling.
