[|Human|] We just noticed a large swollen lump on the side of the face of our 3 month old baby. Its located on the side of the face just in front of the ear. The lump is about 1.5 inchs in length and about an inch in width. It is visible from several feet away. It is not discolored and is fairly hard to the touch. It doesnt appear to be causing any pain. What could it be?
[|AI|]  Hi! Thanks for writing to us! After going through the description of the large swollen hard, skin-colored painless lump on the side of the face of your 3-month-old baby, I would like to consider of some congenital or early childhood disease and I must say that this has to be examined by a pediatric surgeon and investigated properly; however, the possibilities are:1. A benign cyst like Desmond cyst, retention cyst, preauricular or bronchial cyst, lymphatic cyst etc.2. Solid tumor or tumor-like conditions like neurofibroma, lipoma, fibrous histiocytoma etc.3. Lymph nodes due to recent ear/nose/throat infections or tuberculosisTherefore, please take him to a pediatric surgeon and further progress; regards!
