welcome to Health care magic.
1.Lump in that location are usually lymph nodal if there is any underlying causes ( primary or infective aetiology)
2.Parotid gland mass lesions seen in this region.
3.Salivary ductal dilatation, and can be mass arising from underlying bone.
4.It can be confirmed by getting an ultrasound scan done to know where it is arising from and what it consists of and how it involving adjacent anatomical structures.
5.Hope it helps you.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
