Thanks guys for your responses, I'm in country Australia and have fairly limited services, but may need to go to a major city... No I don't have any lymph nodes enlarged, well not yet anyway. The ENT doesn't want to biopsy the mass in case it's a thyroid ( I don't know why) if it is a thyroid I will be asking to see a endocrinologist. But I have to wait for the scan because the dye from the ct can give a false positive reading. I am concerned the it may be HPV as I was a big drinker when I was younger but haven't drank in 16 years I'm 44 now, I've never smoked but my father did and died from lung cancer, plus I enjoyed oral blush, I did have HPV on my cervix many many years ago. I spoke with my GP yesterday and she was fairly relaxed and doesn't think it's any concern.

Ct scan showed lesion on BOT 30/12/13, barium swallow showed mass on BOT 10/1/14, thyroid scan ruled out lingual thyroid 14/2/14, biopsy on BOT 20/2/14, biopsy all clear diagnosed lingual tonsil lymphoid hytrophy. Did not test for HPV. 29/4/14 CT scan on chest and neck, lesion or mass on BOT not changed. 2 nodes 7mm noticed on left neck, 1 tiny node 3mm on chest was noted.
