ENT: You may like to see an ENT specialist, and they can biopsy the lymph node. If the node or mass is not growing, mobile and stable, it is not as likely to be a malignancy, but you should follow up with your PCP and ENT for additional evaluation. Watch for night sweats, fever, weight loss and malaise.
