Patient: HI I HAVE A SMALL PEA SIZE LUMP IN MY MOUTH BETWEEN BOTTOM GUM AND CHEEK ITS BEEN THERE FOR ABOUT 18 MONTHS AND SEEMS LIKE IT IS STARTED TO GET SLIGHTLY BIGGER HAD A EXRAY IT IS NOT A SCIST OR ABSESS NEED TO SEE A CON SULTANT WAITING FOR A APOINTMENT WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS? Doctor: Hi.Lump in cheek line can be a cyst only. IF you are young no need to worry. A simple small surgery is sufficient to get OK.If you are elderly a chance of cancer to be borne in mind. Get this diagnosed and excised. I hope the teeth nearby are normal . . .
