Lump Behind The Ear That Was Popped After Several Strokes. Positive For Lymphoma?

I had a lump behind my ear that was popped after several pokes with a needle. Liquid drained from it for several days. After a couple weeks or healed and now I have a painless hard lump under my ear at my jaw line. This lump has been here for a couple months.

What could this be?
Is it possible to test positive for mono when you really have lymphoma ?

Welcome to HCM
Greetings of the day
As You said that there was liquid pouring from the lump that means it could be pus and unlikely to be lymphoma. Kindly get fine needle aspiration cytology for the present swelling. Apart from lymphoma it could be tuberculosis.
Take care
