Otolaryngologist and ENT (ear/nose/throat) = same thing. ENT is simply shorter (and a lot easier to spell!).
Also (just curious) -- did you ever have that appointment for another opinion at Sloan Kettering?

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
