Indeterminant nodule of the oral pharynx

A nodule in the oropharyngeal tissues (oral cavity and mouth) describe a small lesion which is generally too small or has tissue properties which make it unable to be characterized as benign or potentially malignant. Unfortunately we are unable to determine the exact nature of the lesion from a single scan.Dental work can limit visualization of the mouth as it distorts the imaged area, and thus the mouth is best assessed either by your doctor and/or visualized by your dentist.
