What Causes Big Lump On Face That Bleeds?
My mother inlaw has a big lump like the size of a tennis ball on her left side of her face and its getting bigger and it bleeds a lot from inside her mouth. its not sore but the lump is huge and some doctor in the Philippines has said it is a mass but I don t know what that is and also said they might have to replace her left jaw with a steel plate. can you tell me what a mass is or can you tell me what it might be and what we will have to do, and also thay have check it out and said it is not cancer.

Hi,
From history it seems that as there is growing mass in the mouth and inside cheek and doctor advised for replacement of jaw, one should keep possibility of having malignancy in our mind.
Consult oral surgeon and get examined.
Biopsy of the lesion is a must to rule out malignancy.
Ok and take care.
