This is the my Final Pathologic Diagnosis after my Tonsilectomy.
Left posterior lateral tongue biopsy: SQUAMOUS MUCOSAL PORTION WITH FOCAL EPITHELIAL HYPERPLASIA AND UNDERLYING SKELETAL MUSCLE WITH MILD INFLAMMATION. Labeled ' left posterior lateral tongue biopsy' and consists of a 0.6 x 0.5 x 0.3 cm oval portion of tan soft tissue. The specimen is submitted in toto in cassette 1A. NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY. BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT TONSILS, NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY (NO SIGNIFICANT HISTOPATHOLOGIC CHANGES). I guess this means there is no primary. Also, what would the likely GY of radiation should I expect.
