Brief Answer:
It needs further evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details.
So, any mass lesion seen by a doctor needs further evaluation. It may or may not be a cancer. You require a CT-scan or MRI or face and it will by certainty pick the abnormal mass. If there is a mass on CT or MRI, then a fine needle aspiration test will prove whether it is cancer or something else.
Hope you understand. Feel free to ask further.
Thanks and regards
