tongue
It is attached to the base of his tongue in the back of his throat/mouth. My girlfriend says her son has low muscle tone due to some rare disorder. By 2 he wasn't speaking yet so he was evaluated and that's when they discovered this extra piece of skin in the back of his throat on his tongue. What is it? What is the name of the disorder? Why does he have it? Thank you so much for your info. Teiko.
Sorry, it is not epiglottis, my sister complained about the same thing a while ago and I saw a mini-tongue attached at the back of her throat. It is attached to the base of her tongue and it looks exactly like a tongue. I know what should be there and what shouldn't..this creepy thing is a unique thing. It looks like a secondary tongue. I am so shocked, what if it keeps growing and prevents her from swallowing food or breathing...I really need to get help on this.
It is possible that these nodules are metastases from his base of the tongue cancer. The decision to give or not to give further cancer treatment/s will depend on a lot of things. Consider the age of the patient, risks and benefits of treatment, possible side effects, and end point in making a decision. For now, your father needs the best supportive care he can get.
Take care.

Oh and i also have an impacted wisdom tooth on that side very near to the nerves.. I wondered if that can be the cause.
I am freaking out.
In doing more research, those cyst do not typically appear at the front of her tongue. I am worried about this because my father has cancer in the base of his tongue cussed by HPV. Does anybody have any insight as to what this can be? I never noticed it until I got sick and it causes pain every time I stick my tongue out or try to eat.

3 weeks ago i found this lump at the base of my tongue. It has a foreign sensation and i think it is swelling. I am very worried that it might be something serious. I went to my GP today and he thinks it is normal and not to worry. And he prescribed some steroid cream to put it on. The link is the picture of the "lump". Should i go to see an ENT or a specialist?Should i put the steroid cream?
Within this month I have smoked a lot under pressure, my sleeping pattern was changed completely, irregular eating habit and more of spicy junk food, I noticed my tongue getting white, later it went away, now I have a deep cut like wound at the base of tongue, after examining i found a small whitish pus bulge around the wound, now it is paining, can feel the cut, since last month I have been ignoring oral hygiene. This wound has really scared me.

It was stiff and I noticed I had a small lump on the UNDERSIDE of the TIP of my tongue on the LEFT side only when I flexed my tongue. If I left it perfectly still, and limp, there was no lump. But, if I move it even slightly, it pops out. If you look at my tongue, it's not symmetrical at all. It started to impact my ability to speak clearly and the area gets very stiff when I talk a lot. To the point it feels like a Charlie horse. Hurts!

My husband, age 53, was diagnosed with cancer at the base of the tongue 3 years ago. He underwent 7 weeks of radiation therapy, weekly chemo (Taxol), and amofostine injections. Always fairly "air headed", I have noticed a distinct increase in his forgetfulness. There also seems to be subtle personality changes. Are there studies that indicate this type of treatment might trigger early onset dementia?
I'm no expert but oral cancer from HPV, when it strikes (and it is very rare), strikes the base of the tongue and tonsils, not the inside of your lips.
There are weird sores that happen regularly in the mouth and most are harmless. You have to understand that since you eat food, a lot of different chemical reactions occur and combined with the saliva, a cauldron of whatever goes on. So sometimes your biochemistry reacts negatively and then you get some weird sore.

an upper neck midline lump is my thyroid, undescended. There were also 2 small islands near my hyoid bone and at the base of my tongue (findings of CT scan). THere is no thyroid tissue at the normal site lower down. Does anyone know whether that anomaly is more prone to functional disorders (like the hypothyroidism that I have been diagnosed with 1/2 year ago) ?
And also my Endo thinks I do NOT have Hashi's because my anti-thyroid antibodies are -ve.
Hi - Apologies for a question related to a different type of cancer. I found this forum via a posting w/ a similar Q and didn't find a different forum. I have a question following up my family member's recent CT scan results. She is currently undergoing chemo for metastatic pancreatic cancer and just finished radiation therapy for a metastatic tumor near the trachea.
Some Cervical adenopathy is present and appears to be fairly symmetric side to side, there is also soft tissue Fullness at the region of the base of the tongue and Valleculae, this may also relate to lymphoid hyperplasia, althought it is difficult to exclude a mass in this region, Correlation with direct visulization is recomanded.
I have this weird texture on the back half of my tongue. Whenever I eat, the food gets stuck on the marked part of my tongue. See the picture. This part is also always dry while the front half of my tongue doesn't have this. Is this normal or should I go to the doctor?
