What is the movable lump in my jawline?
Patient: I have a lump under my jawline, about the size of a golf ball, but it occasionally shrinks in size. It doesn't hurt, and shifts slightly when I touch it. I went to the doctor, who told me that because it's "mobile" it's probably a blocked gland, but definitely not cancer. He also recommended an MRI, which I got. Upon examining the films, he now wants me to get bloodwork to rule out lymphoma, which he says is rare. Still, I'm very nervous about it all. Doctor: HI,Dear, Thanks for the query from you for  your painless lump under the jaw line with slight mobility ,which occassionally shrinks and is non-cancerous on MRI study.1-I feel concerned that you are serious to know what is this jawline lump?,2-In my opinion this non-tender  lump underneath the jaw line appears to be lymph node mass or a sebaceous cyst ,as it shrinks sometimes.2-a-If you have history of associated malaise or low grade fever in eveining ,then this would confirm for the TB lymphadenitis.2-b-One has to rule out the lymphoma-NHL  and or Infectious mono-lymphadenitis.3-I would advise FNAC to fix the reason ans hence would refer the case to ER Surgeon.and would advise CBC,ESR,and chest -Xray would fix the cause of the slightly mobile. 4-Other possibilty would be adenoma of the sub-mandibular gland- as the tumour is mobile and not fixed,which rules out the cancerous nature of this jawline lump.5-Hope this would solve your worry of the mobile lump underneath the jawline.6-Wellcome to HCM for any more query.
