Hello, I dont know if I'm in the right sub
Im 24 years old male, non smoker non drinker

2 years ago I had a strange lesion in the epithelial of my hard palate, it was a tiny lump with a red circle
The lesion was very tiny : 2 mm

After a complete removal, it showed mild to moderate atypia, pathologist said he cannot definitly assert a dysplasia

3 month after the removal a big lump under the mucosa occurred but the epithelium was totally fine
I was afraid so I get it removed : hyperplasia with inflammatory feature, the pathologist said the hyperplasia is probably from the inflammation (healing)

After the removal , again the exact same lump occurred (the same as the second), saw an ent that gave a scanner with contrast : everything normal

I have it for 1 year now

I saw an Ent specialized in tumor 2 month ago and he told me it's an osteoma and nothing to worry about, the mucosa was normal

Im afraid because I read many article about dysplasia that reoccur and transform into cancer
Should I get this removed again?

I got mine removed. I started 10 years ago with severe dysplasia and have had it removed 5 times. Then had carcinoma in situ removed in December - that was deeper than most removals. However, they had identified my cells around 27 or so... I thought the dentist was trying to get more money out of me. How wrong I was...

Now I have another small lesion... 2 months after the last removal. 🤦🏼‍♂️
