<s>[INST] Hi doctor, I am a 52 year old male. I have a lump just on top of my soft palate next to uvula. The lump was pink or red, medium and painless without bleeding. Three weeks ago, I found it, and I did not notice anything before. There is no such history in my family. I visited my GP, and he referred me to an oral surgeon. Is the lump, a dangerous one? What would you recommend for it to subside? I have uploaded my lump photos. It is not painful even if I touch the lump with my tongue. After doing warm salt water gargle, the lump reduced a bit. I am not a smoker. I am a known diabetic and hypertensive. I do not have a cough or throat problem now or before. [/INST] Hi. Based on your query and attached images (attachment removed to protect patient identity), my opinion is as follows: Excision biopsy of the lesion. Squamous papilloma. Revert with the results to a geriatrician online.---> </s>
