    I recently moved to Charleston, SC after reaching 3 years...now marching onto 4. I met with my new oncology team last week and my doctor ordered scans for back and neck/throat pain. The bone and chest scan came back clear, awesome! The neck scan mentioned the following:

    "There is a 3 mm pocket of gas in the right ventral hypopharyngeal soft tissue. This is consistent with a small laryngocele probably tracing upward. Some authors advocate laryngoscopy when such a finding is encountered as an association with malignancy exists. Probably not significant but ENT consultation recommended.

    Incidental notation made of a torus palatinus. There is a retention cyst or polyp in the left maxillary antrum 7 mm in size. "

    ENT scheduled for Tuesday. I would have thought that the CT would be able to tell if it's malignant from the contrast? Thoughts?

    Hi JenJen,

    It may be of more help for you, since you already have been Dx-ed with BC in the past, to post your question in the "Not diagnosed with recurrence but concerned" section. I know the ladies there would be very helpful :)
