Are they swollen lymph nodes or bone under ear and behind jaw bone?

More info - Hi, I can't get an answer anywhere... so, you know how there are lymph nodes under the ear and behind the jaw; like where there are muscles? Okay, so I've had swollen lymph nodes there before and I got them about a month ago again. At the time they were painful and swollen. Now, I think they just stayed swollen. But they are hard as bone. So is there bone there that I could be feeling? Or are they actual hard, swollen lymph nodes? The right one is a little lower than the left side. They're below the mastoid process. I believe it's in the cervical lymph node region. Any thoughts?

What are the stats on a swollen lymph node referred for biopsy being finally diagnosed as cancer?
If this is one swollen lymph node out of several swollen lymph nodes, the chances of cancer certainly are higher than just a solitary swollen lymph node. It also depends just where the node in question is located. If it's in the anterior (the front of the neck, like under your jaw) area, and you are a long-time smoker and heavy alcohol drinker, your chances are certainly higher. I am unable to give you a % of cancer. If it's under your arm, and you have several other enlarged nodes --to include the inside of the elbow-- that can certainly suggest malignancy until a negative pathology is returned... Sorry, without more information it is impossible to answer this question, and even then I'd really prefer your physician answer this one...
