Is a sore in the soft palate likely a fibroma or a cancer?
Hi doctor,
I am a 49 year old female weighing 135 lb. I am a smoker, I have had a sore in the soft palate area from two months. Initially, my dentist gave treatment for an ulcer. But now it has recurred, and my dentist believes it to be a fibroma. I read fibromas do not usually appear on soft palate area. I have been referred to an oral surgeon for evaluation. My lesion is approximately 2 mm round and slightly raised, with minimal discomfort. I have attached a picture of my sore. Does it look like a fibroma? I am worried that it is cancer as I recently lost my husband to cancer. I am currently under tablet Crestor 10 mg twice a week, Baclofen, Propanol, and Imitrex for migraine.
