Hello Everyone

I had a pimple like lump on my hard palate, had it removed and biopsied.

Here is the biopsy report:

RIGHT PALATE BIOPSY:

MILD SQUAMOUS HYPERPLASIA WITH HYPERKERATOSIS.

COMMENT: THERE IS NO DYSPLASIA OR MALIGNANCY IDENTIFIED. THERE IS PROMINENT DIFFUSE PIGMENTATION OF THE BASAL EPITHELIAL CELLS.
THE UNDERLYING STROMA SHOWS FOCALLY THICKENED
COLLAGEN BUNDLES.


The pathology report(biopsy) is from AMERIPATH.

Oral surgeon said it is not cancer. should I said the slides for second opinion?.


what SQUAMOUS HYPERPLASIA means? I am worried about the word SQUAMOUS in the biopsy report.

thanks a lot for reading this message
