I received the results from my Barium Swallow test. Im more confused know then before. It says they compared this test on 6/28/05 to the prior ct scan on 5/5/05. The Impression reads. 1.) Moderate gastroesphageal reflux. 2. Possible slight enlargement of the palatine tonsils. 3. Otherwise unremarkable exam of the hypopharynx and esophagus.

Prior to this test the ENT said that my left lingual tonsil was enlarged and know this report says my palitine tonsils are slightly enlarged. This is the first that I heard of this. The ENT said he thinks this is from reflux and told me to see a GI doctor. I asked him if a biopsy would be in line to rule out cancer. He said that he did not see anything to biopsy.

Are the enlarged tonsils reason enough for me to have a biopsy? Given my past history of smoking and drinking.
