Hi,

I had 2 lumps on both sides of my face abd all the drs tgought it was the munps. I told them \I had themas a child and no one believed me! Do you have saliva in your mouth? Due to the lumps, I didn't. I was admitted to the nose, ears and throat ward where they wanted to do a biopsy and I was scared. finally, a dr came in and said he knew what was wrong and if I'm willing to havwe a biopsy in my lungs, going through my nose. I agreed and that's how they found my sarcoid in my lungs! In other words try a lung specialist first!!

I have developed a lump in my right parotid gland near my ear recently.

Has anyone else ever had this?

After 4 years of having a chest xray suggestive of sarcoidosis I still do not have a diagnosis. I have a similar disease that has been treated with prednisone and MTX. I am wondering if I should have the lump biopsied? How much does the biopsy hurt?
