What Causes Lump On Chin Along The Jaw Bone?
Hello, my 31 year old husband has a hard lump on the front right side of his chin, along the jaw bone. It s not under the chin. It has developed in the last few hours and it s dime sized. He s had the flu (a bit of nausea, loss of appetite, headache, tiredness) for a few days. I m just wondering because I looked at a map of lymph nodes in the face and I didn t see that any are in the area where the lump is.

hi.
based from your description, it could be a cervical lymphadenopathy probably secondary to a recent upper respiratory tract infection. it could also be any of these lesions: lipoma, fibroma or cyst. clinical evaluation is best. management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
