I have a lump on right side of face that they have determined is muscle. It is 5 times bigger then other side and has gradually grown over past year. I had an MRI last week where they determined it was muscle. The dr wanted to do a biopsy which they performed yesterday. The dr. Has not seen anything like this.
Hello, I can understand your concern. As you have already been through biopsy, any diagnosis can be ascertained after the report comes and the report suggests what kind of cells constitute the lump, whether it is harmless or cancerous, etc. The possibilities include hypertrophy of the muscle, tumor of the muscle tissue, infection of the parotid gland (salivary gland present in the area) etc. After the report comes, you can go for the suggested treatment based on the diagnosis. You may have to go for cosmetic surgery to remove the extra mass on the face and gain facial symmetry and aesthetics. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish you feel better soon. Best,
