What Does Hard, Visible Lump On Mastoid Bone Behind Ear Indicate?
Hi. I'm a 28 yr old female, I smoke regularly but do not drink-maybe just several times a year. In the last couole of days i've noticed a hard visible lump on my mastoid bone behind the right ear. It is hard and non moveable. I'm rwally worried this might be a sign of cancer. Please help.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Fortunately no cancers occur in the area you explained.
The hard non-mobile lump behind the rear on the mastoid bone is usually due to lymph node.
If you still have doubts you can confirm this by the FNAC= fine needle aspiration cytology.
