Young boy with no history of addiction to tobacco or smoking presented with such a lesion over right side of tongue for last 10 weeks. A biopsy is taken and result is awaited.

I wonder in a city like Delhi, it takes 10 weeks to reach ENT Doctor. Does lesion have to be this big then it came for biopsy. It is such a pity to see lesion grow this much.
