Hi I have a lump inside my tongue, I say inside its closer to the bottom than top but I can feel it from both sides with my fingers and can feel it with top and bottom teeth when I run it through them, it feels a bit sore like an ulcer but I can't see any trace of the ulcers I've had before which some times appear white or red and when touched with fingers kinda sting. Anyway I'm posting because I can't find anything about lumps inside the tongue just on the outside or lumps in the roof of the mouth or underneath.

So I guess my question is other than cancer what could cause a lump deep inside?

Thanks
