What Is The Hard And Non Movable Lump In My Neck?

I am trying to find the cause of a lump growing in my neck, left side just below my jaw. It does not move, like a gland, does not obstruct my airway or effect the ability to swallow. Have read articles online about these symptoms and some say a cause could be dentures, but never what it may be. Any ideas?

And yes, I do have dentures.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.The lump, immovable - Most likely bony lesion (cystic/solid) if it is hard in touch.
2.If the lesion is soft in nature the possibilities are - Submandibular sialadenitis ( salivary ductal dilatation)
3.Othere possibilities are submandibular lesion , Lymph nodal enlargement.
4.A neck ultrasound will help to get to a conclusion, Helps in characterisation of the lesion, extension, source of the lesion.
5.Dentures ? yes it can be, mendable is what commonly called medical terminology.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
