Hi, thanks for sharing your or your relative's health concerns with HCM!
Well, this lump is nothing but a lymph node recently enlarged possibly due to some viral infection that also raised the % of lymphocytes also, if the patient is an adult. In children this lymphocyte % is normal!
The lymph node will gradually disappear once the infection is out; if persists even after 6 weeks, an FNAC test is required to rule out tuberculosis or lymphoma; please revert back to us if necessary!
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing your patient good health.
