I have always gotten cysts behind my ears. They are never painful.

Hi and thanks for using the forum.
This could simply be a cyst, or even a swollen lymph node. However, since it is painful and since your brother has a history of a tumor in the same spot, I think I would get it checked out just to be on the safe side. Good luck.
