it states - INDICATION: (the reason for having the scan) was a neoplasm of the tongue - so it's telling the dr. the reason they were scanning you - was that at one point you had a neoplasm of the tongue - AKA - in your case a cancerous tumor
so this is a past neoplasm not a new one. basically that part of the report is telling them why you were being scanned. On the actual report part it looks CLEAR as far as I can tell.
hugs - best of luck
