Ask: Ask your Oral Surgeon. He/she's the one who has examined you and who has made the diagnosis that the lump is benign. Ask your Surgeon for the correct name.

Minor salivary tumor: not too many lesions develop on roof of mouth. The growths arise from glandular tissue like minor salivary lesions. Adenoid cystic Ca is found and well as other lesions of minor salivary glands. Other tumors like squamous Cell ca can appear but not as a lump but rather ulcerating area. If lesion grows at all bx essential.
