Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Female/67 - known patient of liver liver cirrhosis and PHA - weak - small tumor kind of growth - on left side of face below the ear - no pain - no fever - about one inch in diameter ...

May I please know a few details:
Since when is this present?
Can the skin move over it easily?
Does it become prominent or fixed on clinching the teeth?

The most probable causes are:
Lymph node
Parotid cyst or tumor

I would advise the following:
Ultrasound/MRI or CT scan to have confirmatory diagnosis and get a plan of treatment considering your history.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication and please give feedback.
