Suggest Treatment For Movable Lump In Cheek Tissue
My 11-year old son just came to me concerned because he has a moveable lump the size of a pea in his left jaw. It is not in his mouth, but in the cheek tissue itself. Of course, as a mom, I am panicking because I have always been told to do breast self-exams and looks for pea-sized lumps. Can you advise?

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of hard hip bone lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1. a lipoma or benign fatty tumor or neurofibroma
2. The second possibility is of a benign cyst
3. The last possibility is of some normal / developmental nodule like muscular nodule or just a feeling for you!
Overall, it is benign and not to worry about this but you could go for FNAC test for confirmation if still worried!
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 son good health.
