HI,Dear,Thanks for the query to HCM.1-I have studied your query in depth.2-DEar,IN my opinion, this black lump in toungue with much swelling on one side, could be resolving hematoma out of traumatized toungue with hidden venous malformations/ or traumatized hidden hemangioma in the tounge,which got popped up post-chemical or physical trauma-toungue bite.3-Tumour gone down with a pea sized lump in your toungue-which is black in colour, confirms the possibility of toungue hemangioma or /venous malformation which has become express 12 days back and now reduced to its real pea size.4-hidden AV malformations,vascular malformations of toungue could lead to such black lump with short history.5-Surgeon would fix the diagnosis of the black lump in toungue and would treat accordingly.I would advise you to consult ER surgeon URGTLY.6-Hope this would solve your query to your satisfaction.7-Wellcome for more queries to me On HCM.8-Thnks once again for your inquisitive query.Have a Good Day..!!
