A couple of months ago I noticed a lump in my neck. My doctor referred me to an ENT who did some tests and felt that it was a swollen lumph gland that had probably enlarged because of an infection and would either go away on its own or maybe just not increase in size. I was supposed to have gone back for a recheck but it really never changed, so I put it off. It has been about four months now. I have always had recurrent ulcerations on the roof of my mouth and inside my cheeks. About a month ago, I had four at one time, but they disappeared in about two weeks. Now a hard lump has formed on the roof of my mouth. There are no ulcers, just a pronounced hard lump about the size of a dime. Should this be checked out and by whom? My ENT? My dentist? Oral cancer info seems to point out that lumps in the hard palate of the roof of the mouth are uncommon. So should I even be concerned? Any info would be helpful. Thanks TGF
