Suggest Treatment For Large White Growth On The Uvula
Question: I have been feeling something in my throat the last week or so. I checked tonight and I have a fairly large white growth on my uvula. Any idea what this might be?
Brief Answer:
Seems like papilloma, needs evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns that you are having uvular growth.
As per your clinical details and photo, it appears to be squamous papilloma or retention cyst. I suggest you to consult ent surgeon and get detailed ENT examination (allergy or angioneurotic edema), if necessary laryngoscopy (other sites (deep throat and voice box) involvement). Further treatment can be started according to the findings.
Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health
