Question 1

lump in cheek nodule type can only be felt from inside of cheek. how do i remove this?

Accepted Answer

Go see your doctor: You need a medical exam by your doctor. That is the only way to find out what this nodule insdie your check is. You can wait for sometime to see if it is growing in size or not. If it increases in size over 1 to 2 months then it may have to be taken out surgically and examined microscopically.

Question 2

smooth, symmetrical, firm oval lump in cheek tissue? about an inch in diameter and movable. could this be a lipoma? can you get lipomas in the cheek?

Accepted Answer

: A lipoma in the cheek is rare and contains fat cells .Usually they are found on head, neck and shoulder. If removed they rarely grow back. They are non cancerous.

Question 3

i dealt with a facial trauma 6 weeks ago & it caused swelling on one of my cheek. within 2 weeks of injury, most of the swelling went away but i still feel a lump in cheek which is not going away and its size has been constant, also theres no pain?

Accepted Answer

: The bulk of the swelling was likely from edema and that drained away. The residual "lump" may be blood in the tissue, hematoma, and it may take a while to resolve. If you do not have other symptoms, you may watch and wait. Warm fomentation may facilitate the resolution.

Question 4

if u had a patient 16 yr of age with a tiny soft lump in cheek coming out of it.and a hard small lump in tongue.what wud u guess it is. no tobaco use?

Accepted Answer

Lumps in mouth: I would guess that the two symptoms are unrelated and nothing very serious. However, they do need to be looked at and evaluated. I would suggest you seeing an oral surgeon for that.

Question 5

crown put on cracked tooth, been in pain since(1 month). now want to pull my wisdom in a week.i just noticed lump in cheek, swollen gland?what do i do?

Accepted Answer

See an Endodontist: A crack in a tooth is a pathway for bacteria to infect the root canal system.  If this exists and your dentist put a crown over it the pathway for drainage has been closed and is trying to find a new way out.  The swelling and pain may represent that process. The swollen gland may also represent a current infection. Call your local endodontist for an exam to identify the problem.

Question 6

i have a lump in cheek upper molars and 1 inside the tongue.i had a sore throat now its gone.now one side of neck feels weird.all has happen in 9 days?

Accepted Answer

LAP: Could be due to enlarged lymph nodes, if you have some sort of upper respiratory infection. If it does not resolve in timely manner, seek medical attention.

Question 7

can an infected tooth cause a lump in cheek by upper molar n a lump inside the tongue. its inside the tongue. not outside. im 16. kinda sore throat.

Accepted Answer

It could: An infection can cause an abscess, the lump can be due to a fistula where pus come out
best way is to take xray, check with your dentist.

Question 8

what else could a lump in the cheek be?

Accepted Answer

Simple vs serious: Our bodies always have things that grow and change. Skin, fat, muscle, lymph nodes,  bones, can change shape, get larger, more prominent due to many factors. The vast majority are not cancer but simply unusual growths like fatty tumors, cysts, skin tags, moles, etc.  Most cause no symptoms and can be watched.  If they cause symptoms or change colors, bleed, bruise or hurt, then see your doctor.

Question 9

i have a swollen mush lump in my cheek. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Different options: The face has a lot of things in it both in the skin and below it.  Sweat glands, hair follicles and skin cysts as well as lymph nodes, fatty tissue, nerves, vessels and other things.  Is the lump growing, inflamed, painful, painless, draining, recurrent or constant, moveable or fixed...?  Each of these (and many more) will provide your doc the answers as to what it is and what needs to be done.

Question 10

hi. i have a lump in my cheek, under the skin, right next to the tragus. i have had multiple on the other side, but they have disappeared. help?

Accepted Answer

Lymph nodes: There are lymph nodes in front of the ear that become inflamed with infection around the eye, cheek or ear. Identify and treat the underlying infection and the nodes  should shrink. For confirmation, see you doctor.
