Not usually. Could there be an enlarged submandibular salivary gland instead of a lymph node? Does your ENT specialist follow you for a persistent enlarged lymph node and has a biopsy been recommended or has the size been stable for years?

One consideration would be a chronic dental infection. See your dentist and get started
