welcome to Health care magic.
1.Lumps in the neck / near the ear in a post operative case of uterine malignancy can be enlarged lymph nodes.
2.This can occur due to recurrence and metastasis.
3.In this case by age it may not be related to the uterine cause, it does happened due to underlying medical conditions / lowered immunity level.
4.See your doctor get it examined, an FNAC would help in identification of the nature of the lump.
5.Yes you should worry - get a complete checkup and treat the cause, helps in long life to your mother.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
