A member asked:
I have a 2cm reactive lymph node in my parotid gland area that hasnt went down in 2 yrs. i've done ct scans& biopsies. the node feels hot inside?

Parotid node: The results of your previous biopsy are an important part of the puzzle. I would find an ENT that i trust and ask for their input. A core needle biopsy could be performed if the previous biopsy is inconclusive.
