Could a large solid bump at the base of my tongue be a tumor? it is far back, almost into my throat and touch my uvula. i have a sore throat too and my tongue is a little sore. i have noticed it before but it seemed to have gone away.

Without : Without being able to examine you, it's difficult to say what the bump on your tongue could be. You should give your doctor a call and have them take a look at it. They may be able to tell you whether it is anything to worry about or may send you to an otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat specialist). Good luck!

Yes: Have an oral surgeon look at it asap. It could be nothing but local irritation, but it doesn't sound that way. Tumor means swelling. This can be caused by simpkle local iritation, or be something more serious. Have it looked at asap!

Need Consultation: Too many variables present to just wait. Get and appointment with and oral surgeon for an evaluation (possible biopsy) of this bump. This may be a nuisance or it could be very serious. However the serious side is significant to warrant to know what it is now !

Perhaps ENT speciali: Depending on where you live, an oral surgeon might refer you to a ENT surgeon for the biopsy.
