What Causes Movable Lump At The Base Of Tongue?
Hello, i am 22, 5'2" and 116 pounds. For a couple of years or more I've had a lump at the base of my tongue, underr the skin. It's smaller than the size of a pea, round and moveable. Habe asked doctors and dentists about it but have never got an answer. It hasnt changed at all ever and it's not painful. No history of cancer in my family and in full health, good oral hygene too, and not a smoker. What could it be? Thanks

Hi
Welcome to hcm
Many times small mucus cyst are normal and nothing to worry. Without seeing it actually it Is very difficult to say what it is but since you said doctors have seen it and said nothing means its not serious so just observe it and if any change see a surgeon.
Regards
