Ive had a swollen lymph node behind my ear (thumb sized) for about 10 years. at least since i can remember. but i just read today that lumps could be a sign of lymphoma? now im worried. it hasnt changed in size or grown if that helps?

If it has not changed in size in over 10 years and it is painless, then it is in all likelihood benign. If it concerns you, have your doctor check it. If it begins to grow or if it becomes painful, red, etc., then definitely have your doctor check it. Best of luck to you!
