Clinical narrative: This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 94-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), first dose via an unspecified route of administration on 22Jan2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EL8982; Expiration Date: May2021) as single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included high blood pressure from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing. Concomitant medication included amlodipine besilate, benazepril hydrochloride (AMLODIPINE BENAZEPRIL) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported. The patient reported that she noticed after 2 or 3 days, she can't remember when she got a lump on her neck, 'she got the drug then the lump' (not clear nor clarified) then she had the second shot because she thought you know she didn't pay no attention to the lump. Second shot on the 12th and she still have the lump, so she went to the hospital and had a scan, she had dye put in her, they can't find nothing wrong with her and she was just wondering is it possible that this is one of the side effects. She had both shots. One was on 22Jan2021 and then on 12Feb2021. It was the Pfizer shots. She had no reaction and felt great. Her arm didn't hurt. She got a lump not on the side she got the shot but the other side of the neck. It is on the right side of the throat. The lump was smaller and seems bigger now. She noticed the lump about 2 to 3 days after she got first one. She didn't say anything to them because she wanted the second one. The shot was given on the left side, but the lump is on the right side. Sometimes it is below the chin and sometimes it seem in the middle. It seems like it moves. She can't see it when she looks in the mirror. Other people can feel it. She went to the doctor who sent her to hospital to get a scan. The lump was 9 x 20mm. The doctor said they should go further and get MRI with the dye. From that he couldn't find anything. He even checked the sinuses. Nothing is coming from her head or ear. There is no infection. They are kind of baffled. They sent her to the dentist to make sure it is not like an infection in the teeth. The dentist is also baffled. He is not stopping because he is concerned. He sent her to an oral surgeon. The oral surgeon doesn't want her to worry because of her age. He is not sure either. The oral surgeon didn't want her to do anything invasive. He said to wait until 16Mar2021 and come back and let him look at it. If he is still concerned and they will do biopsy. No one mentioned cancer but she is concerned and scared. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included investigation: unknown results on Jan 2021, magnetic resonance imaging: no reason for it or infection on an unspecified date, scan: can't find nothing wrong with me  on an unspecified date, x-ray: no reason for it or infection on an unspecified date. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of the event which included hot packs. The outcome of the event was unknown.Second dose given on 12Feb2021, lot number: EL9266, expires May 2021.
