Firm lymph node on neck below ear and dr said i need to get a biopsy and that ultrasound wouldn't help. why? said location is difficult to evaluate. ?

Neck mass: Neck masses often need biopsy for complete evaluation. Most of the ties they are not a cause of alarm, but sometimes other more important illness can be diagnosed by it. Get your needle biopsy with your physician. Hope this helps.
