What Could Small, Mobile, Hard Bump On Right Jawbone, Not Showing Up In Dental X-ray Indicate?
I have a small pea size bump that is under the skin and sits on my right jawbone in the middle of my cheek. It moves when I push on it and is a little hard. I've had it for over 10 years now and it's stayed the same size and position. On dentist X-rays it hasn't shown up, what could this be? Thank you very much!

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. It is nothing but a lymphnode which is seen in all individuals but prominent in some due to infections or inflammations. You can have a fine needle aspiration cytology for that. It may also be a simple lipoma which wont harm you. Thank you.
