What Could Be The Lump On The Side Of Tongue?

Beginning of May I noticed a lump on the side of my tongue....no pain never noticed it before...the size it is now is the same size the first time I saw it. I wear dentures and sometimes I forget to remove the bottom plate so I just assumed I bit the side of my tongue in my sleep. I have just come home from an ENT doctor and he says it a varicose vein and benign.......is that possible?
