I went to my doctor after my dental hygienist noticed some lesions on my hard palate with the VELscope. My doctor is referring me to an ENT, but doesn't seem concerned about it being cancer since there are no white/red plaques or any ulceration. Here is her synopsis:
"OP with erythematous somewhat warty textured papules on the hard palate, no leukoplakia, no bleeding, no ulceration. Remaining oral mucosa normal.
A/P: (K13.70) ORAL LESION (primary encounter diagnosis)
Comment: possible prolonged inflammatory response or burn, does not have the appearance of thrush or aphthous ulcer. Neoplasm cannot be ruled out."
I burned my mouth earlier that week, but I have also been dealing with Chronic Sinusitis (14 weeks now). I also had a tooth extraction back in October due to a failed root canal (abcess). I am prone to some overreactive autoimmune responses and I was wondering if you could shed any light on if these mouth lesions are tied to either the sinusitis or the abcess and what the diagnosis might be. I am scheduled to see an ENT but it is still a couple of weeks out. Thanks.
