Hello,
My names David from the UK and wondered if anybody can help me.I had a scan on my pituitary gland that showed up a mid line tongue lesion on my tongue.I saw the ear,nose and throat surgeon who said he doesn't think it's cancerous going off the MRI scan and said I won't need a biopsy or surgery because he said he thinks it was a lingual thyroid but said I need a 123 iodine whole body scan to find out what type of lump it is.
Had the scan and to cut a long story short the person that did the scan said it's not a lingual thyroid and said after the scan we've just been discussing about you having a biopsy.
I'm just worried sick now thinking if it's not a lingual thyroid what is it??
Wondered if anybody could help because i go for the results tomorrow and haven't told my parents?

Thanks for reading,

David.
