There are a number of different causes for nodules of the tongue. In most cases, these turn out to be benign. However, rarely, such growths can be caused by cancer.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to make a specific diagnosis over the internet. Please see your primary physician. If he/she is concerned, then you can be referred to an ENT (Head & Neck) specialist for further evaluation.
