Answer 1

Lymph Node

Answer 2

You do not say how long you have had this lump . . but the fact that you notice it and think that it is strange is a red flag. From your own description . . cancer at this point can not be ruled out. What would help to know is how long the lump has been there and if it seems to be growing at all. If it has only been there a short amount of time, you might wait a few weeks to a month before having it checked. If it has been there two months than you need to see a doctor to determine exactly what it is you are dealing with. There is a type of cancer called sarcoma which is a cancer of the bone or the soft tissue within the body. Sarcoma is a rare cancer but more common in adolescents and young adults than other types of cancer. The trademark for sarcoma is an unusual lump or bump found anywhere on the body, painless, and appears to be growing. Since no one can tell the difference between a harmless lump and a malignant lump than you will need to see a doctor for an examination.

Good luck. If the doctor even once says he suspects 'sarcoma' than you need to insist on seeing a sarcoma specialist. They are the only type of oncologist that should be treating sarcoma.

Answer 5

It is probably an inflamed lymph node, look up on webMD.  It's not usually serious and they go away eventually.  It's from an infection your body is fighting off.  PROBABLY----talk to your doctor anyway.
