@tiatia11, welcome. I'm tagging @thomason who has experience with pyriform sinus cancer to bring her into this discussion.

I can imagine that you are very worried while waiting to see the ENT. It's hard not to leap to thinking it is cancer. But if I understand you correctly, cancer has not yet been confirmed. Right? How was the tumor discovered? What tests or imaging have you had? Have you had a biopsy done?

Thanks so much for your response. My gastro found it during an upper endoscopy but did not biopsy it. I do have a photo of it, it looks like a SSC. After research I found out that there are virtually no known cases of benign tumors in the pyriform sinus.
