For what it is worth my ENT wanted to set up a surgical removal of my lump regardless of how the needle biopsy came out. The only difference was how fast it would be scheduled. (it was about 1 cm in size)
The best way to be really sure what it is would be the complete removal and then the pathologist can look at everything.
Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
