What Causes Lump Under Toungue?
Hi there, I have just discovered a small lump on the rear base of my mouth, under my tongue but close to the molar. I had a wisdom tooth removed on that side approx 4 months ago and it seemed to heal well. I have also had some minor muscle-like pain in my throat over the last few weeks extending into my collar bone,but this is something I've felt in the past. I am 28 yo, don't smoke and rarely drink. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
That could be a retention cyst from a minor salivary gland in that region or could even be a ranula. These are all benign swellings.
But it will need a clinical examination for confirmation of the diagnosis and its subsequent management.

Dr. Ashish Verma
