. Size is relatively small , and size not increasing also decreases the probability of a malignancy. But still we need to discuss your symptoms including any symptoms of infection to identify the cause. Are you having any fever ? Night sweating ? Or recent weight loss ? Have you done any blood investigations. You can consult me online , if you wish to do so , I can help you with the necessary investigation and management only after discussing your symptoms in detail .
