I'm no expert, but wouldn't it being labeled 'benign' mean it was ruled out as 'malignant' ... can't be the same at one time and all that? Not that things can't change over time, and you still may want to talk to another ENT if the first was unsatisfactory, but if the pathologist said not malignant, and this report says benign, you have a lot of positive vibes to be holding on to, right now. Keep those close while you continue to ask your questions!
