Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your mass may be due to enlarged lymphnode or salivary gland or some other cause. Most easy and fast way is fnac. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology study of that mass. It will give you exact diagnosis regarding cause. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
