is lump behind palatopharyngeal arch supposed to be throat cancer
hello I have seen the picture the red bumps with white little things on them at the back of the throat behind the palatopharyngeal arch are called lymphoid granules these are lymphoid tissues that are normally present however in you they seem to be slightly enlarged when enlarged and infected they are very congested red and may exude pus in your picture I cannot make out pus the enlargement without redness or pus may indicate chronic throat infection in case of chronic pharyngitis or tonsillitis you may be having these bumps for a long time however you may have suffered throat pain fever soreness difficulty in swallowing and painful swallowing intermittently they are not cancer the tonsils appear normal to me they do not have a smooth surface they have pits called crypts through which tonsillar secretions come out into the mouth when the pits are clogged then you may develop tonsilloliths or stones which may be painful and give globes feeling otherwise the tonsils look normal if you suffer from the intermittent symptoms I mentioned then perhaps this is a case of chronic tonsillopharyngitis where we can explore the option of surgically removing the tonsils from both sides to give you relief from the symptoms otherwise we need not bother
