It may be possible to sample the area using fine needle aspiration (similar to a biopsy, but less invasive and less painful). Your veterinarian should start with a thorough palpation of the site, a comprehensive oral exam, and careful evaluation of lymph nodes throughout the body. This situation definitely warrants evaluation.
#MOVABLE LUMP ON JAW BONE SKIN#
The lump also could be caused by an infection in the bone or under the skin (leading to a granuloma), or by an aberrant action of the immune system. However, I am happy to say that they are not common in cats in the area you describe. Osteosarcoma is a type of tumor that is unfortunately very dangerous. In that case, you have correctly guessed two possibilities: a cyst or a tumor. It’s also entirely possible that the lump is not a lymph node. Or, more perniciously (and less likely), the node could be infiltrated with malignant cells (cancer). The lump could still be a lymph node - it might be reacting to something that’s happening on the other side of the face. However, due to the anatomical conformation of the area, generally only the node on the same side as the infected tooth will swell. Infected teeth can cause swelling of lymph nodes located under the jaw (the submandibular lymph nodes). Is she at risk of “catching” what he has?īecause the lump is on the opposite side of the mouth from the affected tooth, odds are slim that the two are related.

(my moms were also severely impacted) I have a dentist appointment next week so hopefully theyll know what this lump is (do dentists deal with salivary glands?) and if its in any relation to my wisdom teeth, because my doctor wasnt much help (in regards to my anxiety) Any advice as to what this could be and if i should go into panic mode? Thanks in advance!! so maybe the two are related somehow? I have a tiny jaw and i know that my wisdom teeth are most likely badly impacted. The one thing that i have noticed is that around the same time i noticed the lump, my gums on top of my wisdom teeth(or where they should be) were tender and swollen, along with tolerable pain in my jaw. Anyway, 5 months later and its still here and still pea sized, hasnt changed. once it started shrinking i stopped with the lemons because they are gross. i did just that and the gland did get a little smaller to about the size of a pea and became way more mobile. so he told me to suck on lemons to stimulate the gland. he wasnt really too concerned at all and said that its a swollen submandibular gland and there is 'gravel' in it causing a little blockage which causes it to swell(he told me this without any tests or anything, just by feeling it). I have very bad anxiety, so i started freaking out about it 2 months later and saw my doctor. It is located directly under my 2nd molar, in that general area. I thought nothing of it because it wasnt a 'characteristic' cancerous lump, as it is smooth, rubbery and movable. 18 y/o female, smoker, 5'9, 157 lbs Okay, so about 5 months ago i noticed a kidney bean sized lump under the inside my jaw (that could only be felt when i looked down and it moved to the other side of my jaw bone (the cheek side)).
