I have a hard lump behind my left year. It has been there for about a year and has grown a little bit over the course of that year. It is painful when i touch it and i think it has affected my hearing out of that ear. I finally went to the doctor yesterday for it and she said she thought it is a cyst on my lymph node. There is a biopsy on it in a few days. I am wondering what this biopsy will involve and what is a cyst and what could it be?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some benign cyst or enlarged lymph node due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
