What does a small lump inside the left cheek indicate?
Patient: I have a small lump inside my left cheek, I can only feel it when i use my thumb a pointer finger to squeeze the inside & outside of my cheek at the same time. My left cheek is also tingling slightly around the area, but there is no pain or feeling other than the tingling. What could be the cause and is it most likely some form of mouth cancer? Doctor: Hi. There is a lump. If you are very young , this may not be a cancer.If you are old and have some bad habits , consider the possibility of cancer. But many times this may be a small simple cyst. If you have doubts , please get this checked by an ENT Specialist.
