What Would Be The Big Black Lump On The Back Of My Tongue?
I have a big black lump on the back of my tongue it hurts to swollow and I don't know if its my imagination but I feel like its getting bigger. I have a wierd taste in my mouth. It gives me an earache, I went to the er and they took a catscan and told me they don't know what it is and sent me home. I have an appt to see an ent dr but I can't wait, does anyone know what this is, I fear it might be cancer

Hi. Yes this is a lump with worry. The black lump on tongue is rare.
This can be a hemangioma or a melanotic mass. Contrast CT should have diagnosed what it is and you have been told that they do not know what it is.
Worrying at the moment neither helps in anything nor going to solve your problem. Wait till you see a ENT.
