Hi,Good Evening.Thanks for the query to my HCM virtual-CLINIC.I studied your query in-depth.
-In my opinion-You mostly have a chronic lympadenitis-?TB?infectious mono?By its site you appear to have worry about the lymphoma or cancer.
-I would advise you not to worry at all.I dont think as you do and assure you to relax.
-Still I would advise-excision biopsy of the peas sized lump-which would help your doctor to treat it accordingly with Anti-TB drug/if it turns inconclusive -you are still relieved as it is removed.
-A Surgeon would help you in this treatment planning.This will help you to discuss and plan treatment with your doctors.
Wishing you fast-recovery.
Wellcome to my HCM Clinic again.Good night.
