Had noticed left side base of tongue quite a bit larger than right. Then got sick in December with Covid them pneumonia and it swelled to the point it was closing off throat. Regular dr thought it may be an abscess so did ct scan which definitively showed the mass and she sent me to ENT. He immediately thought it was cancer just by the look of it and did a micro-laryngeal scope with biopsy last Friday. His diagnosis was malignant neoplasm of the base of the tongue. Results said benign squamous mucosa and tonsillar tissue/negative for malignancy. He is NOT convinced at all and said he was still highly suspicious of it and doing a second biopsy on 3-27. I am wondering if I need to do anything different like a surgical oncologist for 2nd opinion? wait on 2nd biopsy? Anyone else have this happen and results?
