It was just a biopsy. I dont think they said how large it was, it was located on the left lateral side. I have never been a consistant tobacco user, more of a social smoker about 5 yrs ago. Ive had a little sore on my tounge for about 5 or 6 yrs, I never really thought much of it. It was sore from time to time but never a major problem. The size never changed. I went to the dentist about 3 wks ago, and was referred to a oral surgeon. Im 27 yrs old.
