A member asked:

I have a hard moveable lump (its completely non visible and abt 1*1cm) inside my right cheek and my preauricular lymph node is hard and fixed on the right side of my face. what is the likelihood that these two are related?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lump + node: I would be concerned enough to investigate. Please see a specialist Oral Surgeon.
