welcome to Health care magic.
1.It could be due to the dental infections, from the mandible itself.
2.Or a lymph nodal enlargement is always possible in the neck region after any infection and inflammation.
3.To find out where it is extending from and what content it is ( cystic , solid , bony )
4.Depending on the findings FNAC -fine needle aspiration cytology to evaluate the cells.
5.And excision depending on findings.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
