the results of my biopsy
hard palate biopsy-Hyperkeratotic and Acanthotic Squamous Mucosa with Underlying Fibrosis. Negative for Malignancy.
Ent said nothing to worry about, I am stil having problems and I questioned him about a possible nasopalatine cyst, I brought him an panoramic xray I had done and wanted him to look at. He glanced at it for two seconds and said looks good.
I hate it when they treat you like your a dummy. I may be in left field but he cant seem to cure my problems either.
My alveor ridge behind my front teeth is reddish and swollen and burns along with some of my rugae.
I asked him a bout a ct but he dismissed it saying we dont need it with the xray. I hate to get another one I had one back in april. But peice of mind is also nice. Thanks for listening I dont know much about the path report if anyone wants to chime in please do. Thanks for listening

Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 875 | I'll say AMEN to the suggestions from others. I hate to keep changing doctors, but when you get such "flippant" answers to problems that are really bothering you, you do need to find someone else. Good luck - I've been there.
