A member asked:

Ct scan w/o contrast for lump under tongue for suspected stone. results show no stone. worried it may be cancer. would scan w/o contrast show tumor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely to be cance: You can ask your physician to have you see a ENT physician. You will need to see if you need a biopsy to the tissue. This is unlikely to be cancer. You will need other imaging to clarify this.
