A member asked:

I have hard lymp nodes under my jaw and was wondering , can lymph nodes be hard and non cancerous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Scar tissue is sort-of-hard (harder than a lean, flexed muscle which is the standard for "firm"). The "hard" of cancerous lymph nodes is often almost "bony hard" (like your knuckle).
