[|Human|] Over 5 years ago had been referred to hospital for biopsy on cervical lymph nodes as several swollen but was refused biopsy by hospital. Over 2 years ago I found a small rock hard lump under each of my ears, at the angle of my jaw, they did not hurt and do not move and doctors dismissed them. Afew months after that my lower jaw became numb, lumps getting bigger. Told by doctor numbness caused by virus and lumps are boney protrusions. 6 months after that diagnosed with pernicious Anemia by which point most of face numb. Still tired blood levels normal, lumps gradually getting bigger and feeling of fullness in jaw and behind ears. Doctors are still refusing to do anything, based on nothing, no biopsies no imaging. I m 28 year old female and very concerned.
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have hard lump under each of your ears. You should go for X-ray or ultrasound study to search whether it is bone protrusion or some other mass. Then if needed go for biopsy of that lump. It can be lymphoma or some other mass. Your pernicious anemia has no relation with mass. You should go for vitamin B12 level & intrinsic factor testing to confirm the diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
