Am in remission for MALT lymphoma, started in right salivary gland which has been removed,had MabThera treatment and all seemes to be ok though at the moment I have a lump growing along the top of my left jawbone near ear, have had ct scan for check up and my onc said it wasn t mentioned and he felt it, it was probably the size of a large pea then and didn t seem to be concerned, It has now grown along my jaw and it is about the size of a small marble and the one next to it is pea size. I m having a scan soon and am hoping it is arthritis( I have osteo) or some TMJ disorder. Any thoughts? Ps it is hard,painless and non movable. Thankyou
Hi, Dear I went through your elucidative query.1-IT WILL BE WRONG TO OPINE ON THE LUMP of YOUR LEFT JAWBONE-WITHOUT FNAC OR / BIOPSY OF THE LUMP,2-By the facts placed by your query, I feel it to be- a lump of the Lymphnodes-related to MALT lymphoma? May be and needs to be ruled out by FNAC / or biopsy,3-AS Tumor IS PAINLESS, HARD,possibility of the TMJ involvement is very remote.4- increases -it needs further check and evaluation for proper treatment from onco-surgeon.5-Thanks for your query to the Chat Doctor You are welcome for any further treatments if required. I would love to help you out of Your lump and cough. Thnks. Wellcome.
