gonial angle
The angle of the mandible (gonial angle) is located at the posterior border at the junction of the lower border of the ramus of the mandible.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_the_mandible
The term has been used in referring to the posterior inferior angle region of the mandible (Brodie), as well as to the angle formed by a tangent to the lower border of the mandible and a tangent touching the posterior border of the ramus at two points, one at the condyle and one at the angle region (Broca).
https://www.ajodo.org/article/0002-9416(54)90127-X/abstract
Medical Definition of gonial angle
: the angle formed by the junction of the posterior and lower borders of the human lower jaw
— called also angle of the jaw, angle of the mandible
https://www.merriam-webster.com/medical/gonial angle
I don't have time to check but I think it's probably something along these lines. Retro = back.

En este caso se hace referencia a una localización (tumefacción indolora a nivel (de) ángulo retromandibular). Aquí, ángulo retromandibular parece sólo una variación de la referencia habitual ángulo mandibular. Aunque gonial angle es la denominación anatómica, creo que (at the) mandibular angle es la expresión equivalente más habitual en inglés.
