How To Cure A Large Lump In Neck And At The Back Of Jaw?

I have just discovered a large lump in my 6 yr old son's neck, to the left towards the back of his jaw. He says he feels fine, he doesn't have a temperature and is eating as usual. I would say however that he has been looking pale for a while and has dark circles under his eyes. He has a baker's cyst on the back of his knee, which was diagnosed and scanned about a month ago.I am very concerned and have just called our GP who can see him this afternoon. Lymphoma and Leukemia run in my family.

Yours,Jane Maben

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
History noted.
I would suggest for a simple test of FNAC= fine needle aspiration cytology. This will help immensely to confirm or rule out a sinister problem of lymphoma.
Blood picture would help for leukemia.
Towards the back of the jaw can be more of a parotid swelling than the lymph node.
The treatment will be totally dependent on what will be reports.

I find this answer helpful
