Short answer: Yes, I did just last month. NOTHING is being done about it but if I were having surgery, I'd have them taken off.
Long rambling answer: IMO, It sucks to have one especially since there are different approaches but I'm going to stick with my ENT's advice right now. Last month, my Christmas spirit was dampened when my ENT told me I had developed a mucocele at the base of my tongue. She said it was the result of a blocked salivary gland.
She went out of her way to empathize that it was not a sign of a recurrence. She said in her experience they were always benign and would resolve on it's own. She thought that surgery was unwarranted and could compromise my ROM even more if there were complications (and since my prior surgery had major unexpected complications, neither her or I feel like gambling)
But, she also said that it was going to light up big time on my annual MRI I get next month. She insisted that I make an appointment the same week I schedule the MRI because the radiologist's report is going to have to say: [quote]There is a new cyst/tumor on the base of the tongue adjacent to the former cancer that should be checked immediately[/quote]
However, I would ask the surgeons now to consider taking out both of them with your revisional surgery in March. It would not be a major matter in that context. You have time now to write, send an email and follow up. Otherwise, when you do have a follow up scan: CT, MRI or PET, the mucocele will light up and Trust me, that is NOT a good feeling
