Welcome to health care magic.

1.The history and present symptoms and location suggest enlargement of the lymph nodes.
2.In this case its for sure that there is some lymph nodal pathology which needs to evaluate.
3.Get an ultrasound of the lumps scanned, the ultrasound will help to assess the nature of the lump, its source and extensions.
4.Followed by an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology will help in assessing the nature of the cells and possibilities of lymphomas.
5.Possbilities of being lymphoma are there. So get scan and needful treatment. Good luck.

Hope i have answered your query.
