Does lump under chin and muscle/bone indicate sign of cancer?
Patient: Hey fellas,I have recently discovered a small, soft-ish lump under my chin, which is slightly moveable but visible from the outside and upon further inspection I found another hard unmoveable lump on the hard muscle/bone (I don't know much about anatomy) at the very top of my throat. I'm quite the hypochondriac as a couple of weeks ago I found a hard lump on the roof of my mouth which I immediately assumed to be cancer but that has since dissappeared. Anyway my question is... do the above symptoms sound like some form of cancer? Freaking out a little... Doctor: Hi,From history it seems that there might be having enlarged, palpable sub mandibualr lymph nodes produced movable and palpable lumps.This indicates that there might be having some chronic infection in the mouth, teeth, tonsils etc.Nothing to worry about cancer.Consult your doctor and get examined.Keep oral hygiene clean and healthy.Ok and take care.
