What Causes Abnormal Right-sided Growth On Palate?
hi my 86 year old mom was told she had a growth quarter size on the right side of the soft palate by her dentist. She told my mom to get it checked by a doctor. My mom says sometimes she says the food goes down the wrong pipe and she chokes. Could this be related to the growth on the palate?

Hello,
I think that the presence of this mass in palatum could cause this situation. I suggest that your mother to meet a maxillofacial specialist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
