What Causes A Movable Lump Under The Earlobe?

Hello, I am a little bit confused. June last year I noticed a little, long shaped (4mm), mobile node under my right earlobe in the fossa behind the jaw. My ENT said nothing to worry, only a small lymph node. However, I read about parotid tumors in this area... Could you help me, please?

Hi....it could be parotid tumor ...High probability. ...even I got it operated for same thing. ..but don't worry mostly parotid tumors are benign...first off all get sonography done...followed by FNAC. ..and then high contrast CT scan...everything will be cleared...you should get it removed bcz it might cause major problem in future. ...
