What causes a blood filled cyst near the ear lobe in a child?
Patient: The kid got a like a cyst blue mass under the skin(near the earlobe). The doctor said it moves around and looks like a cyst -trapped blood under the skin and sent us to ENT, what could it be? We went to ENT and they have no clue what it is and suggested MRI... then thought and figured ultrasound could be a smarter choice... Doctor: many thanks.mass below ear lobe are usually related with parotid gland These gland dome time swell up due to some infection.if you have a phtogragh then it is easier diagnosis.I will advised urgent ultrasound of the lesion and then may need MRI.if any solid lesion the need tissue biopsy will be good idea. pediatric surgeon or ENT specialist might help him.
