Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here..My Mom is 83 she has had cancer of the uterus and has had that removed .  She now has a pea sized lump in front of her ear and says she thinks it is effecting her hearing.  Should I be worried about this.
Welcome to Chat Doctor .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 happen 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.
