HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be prominence lymph node and this could be normal one if does not have any clinical symptoms and this is nothing to worry, in presence of some symptoms like fever, loss of weight this could be due to infection and may need some investigation, hope this information helps take care and have a nice day.
