Have septated cystic structure in throat 15x17x9. having biopsy today does it need to be removed even if benign?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on result of: Biopsy and your symptoms. Your surgeon should be able to give you specific advice after results of biopsy are back. But it sounds like a pretty big mass to me.
