Sir,My father 57 yrs old has a lump over left lower border of chin.It has been here for the past 30-40yrs.He has no problems with that.But now he is tensed and is having a vibration over the site.The lump is movable and painless.It doesn,t show any increase in size also.What should i tell him ?
Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The long-standing history and location of the lump suggest - submandibular gland benign lesion.2. Other possibilities - benign bony lesion (Osceola) usually hard in touch.3. If he feels vibrations - some blood supply or nerve irritation is happening.4. The next step should be - a USG - ultrasound to evaluate the nature of the lump, its source, extensions, vascularity.5. Further an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology to find out what kind of cells involved, and removal of the lump - if causing discomfort or cosmetic issues. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask ? Do not hesitate to ask.http
