You can't- see Doc!: It can be either, with the information given. Can it be an infection or cancer? Don't rely on our answers in this forum- further description is necessary to accurately answer your question. Because of fever, i would recommend that you see your doctor or go to an urgent care center to answer your question since it may require further questioning and studies to diagnose and treat.
