A member asked:

Is hardened tumor under my jaw curve a sign of malignancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get it checked.: It is hard to know without examining you. It might be a salivary gland you are feeling. If there is something hard and growing, this should be checked out by your physician.
