Tumor in hard palate can't be seen on ct with dye or oral exam only found in mri. is this common? 8 mm can't be biopsied because it can't be found

Curious: The information you provided sounds a little confusing. The MRI revealed an 8 mm tumor that was not seen on a ct or oral exam and could not be biopsied. Need to know if the lesion was a solid tumor, fluid filled tumor, and if the tumor could not be biopsied because the surgeon could not locate it during surgery. A cone beam ct scan may help localizing the specific location of the tumor.

Seek more opinions: Who first diagnosed the tumor? In hard palate? Where in hard palate? Color ? Have you seen an oral surgeon, a dentist, a multidiscipline approach is best for what you describe!

Your info?: Sorry, but most of the information that you have does not make sense. I recommend that you take all your records and consult some other oral surgeons in your area. Also consider a hospital with a dental residency program or a dental school.
