Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. The lump what you are seeing / feeling could be lymph nodes.2. Lymph nodes do arise after any infection / inflammation or underlying malignant causes.3. The pancreatitis will give its symptoms with pain.4. If you are my patient I would ask for an ultrasound scan to see the condition of your pancreas status, and lumps what you feel - to confirm about the lymph nodal mass.5. An FNAC will be good idea to find out the reason behind.6. Get a complete investigate you with lab and imaging - as nodes does not develop simply.7. Hope it helps you. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
