A member asked:
Where are postauricular lns? have elevation behind left ear-more flat than round-not seen,felt only-1cm-not on mastoid process, slightly above??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
These lymph nodes: are located behind your external ear. Lymph node enlargement is caused most commonly by infection or inflammatory process, but rarely it can mean malignancy. If it is 1cm, it is probably not worrisome for neoplasm. Show it to your doctor just to be sure.
