I have a lump, about the size of a dime, in the rear right of the roof of my mouth. It is very hard. It is slightly farther back than my last molar. I have a similar bony feeling lump on the exact opposite side but not as large. I'm calling my dentist today but in the meantime I'm getting very nervous. I know that you can't tell just from my description but does this sound like it could be oral cancer?

Thank you for your advice.

Hi newmom

You may be describing the normal appearances in the mouth of pterygoid hamulus or the hamular process of the pterygoid bone.. Hope that helps set your mind at ease.

Do see your dentist and let us know how it turns out.

Best wishes

p.s. why 326 , I thought it was a 24/7 job .

Please try not to panic,,,this could be anything...make the appt. with your dentist and follow his direction,,let us know the outcome,,in the meantime a prayer is already heading your way,,,god bless you..always vicki lynn

Dr., thank you very much for the advice.

Vicki Lynn, thank you for the prayers, they must have helped because it turned out to be exactly what the dr. said it was. After a thorough cancer exam, they came up with 2 cavities but NOTHING ELSE!!! A great way to start the weekend. Thank you both very much.

Oh thank the heaven's above and almighty GOD..This is wonderful news,,,YEAH,,,,,,Have a great life....ALways Vicki Lynn
