My 58 year old mother had developed this bump-like ,crusty cyst into her ear. Some kind of a liquid was also running from it and smells bad. We have noticed it 2 months ago as it went from a pimple size to a peanut size cyst. The Doctor said it seems like it is there for more than 5 months. Before the surgery, after the first test results the Doctors couldn't recognize if it is actually "acanthoma or carcinoma". Today she underwent a surgery. The doctors said it was very deep almost near the scalp of the head. They said that it was fully removed. The piece was brought for another test. Can you please let me know more about it? IS it dangerous?

Donna, I am very sorry about your mother's current health concerns. I hope that others on this forum can give you more information about when she and you are facing. I did delete the links that you posted for two reasons: 1. Our policy does not allow a new member to post links to external sites. 2. (and honestly this is probably the most important thing) if your mother's doctor who is there actually looking and and feeling this bump cannot tell what it is, there is very little chance that anyone anywhere on the Internet could give anything but their guess. Continue to work with your mother's own medical team to identify the lump.

You and your mother are in my thoughts and prayers.
