[|Human|] I have a fast growing lump under the jaw (left side) about 12 way back, and it is heading inward and getting larger. Almost getting uncomfortable. It was a small lump for about 2weeks, just thought it was a hair foolivle abcess and would go away, but just last 2 1/2 days started to really get bigger quite fast. My dentist noticed a hardness on on of my saliva glands inside my mouth last year, that sometimes gave me discomfort. Could this all be related, and what is most likey .Thanks
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. Most likely its sailoadenitis (salivary mass) it could be due to the obstruction of the salivary ducts - appears like lump, and a mass arising from the glands. 2. Other possible causes are cystic / sold structures from the bone itself.3. Submandibular gland mass, lymph nodal mass - are other causes.4.If this case I would recommend you to see your doctor, after examination - get an ultrasound neck / lump, helps in evaluation of nature of the lesion and relation with adjacent structures.5. Get an appointment and do what is necessary things done. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
