Understanding Parotid Tumors: Types, Diagnosis, and Treatment Options

Image
  The parotid gland is one of the primary salivary glands, responsible for producing saliva that aids in digestion and helps with oral health. It is located in front of the ear, extending to the angle of the jaw, making it easily identifiable and accessible for surgical procedures. While this gland plays an important role in the body, it is also susceptible to abnormal growths, known as parotid tumors. These tumors can range from benign, non-cancerous growths to malignant, cancerous ones. What Are Parotid Tumors? Parotid tumors are abnormal growths that form within the parotid gland. They can affect people of all ages and typically cause swelling or lumps in the region near the jaw and ear. These tumors are generally categorized as either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), with benign tumors being far more common. About 85% of parotid tumors are benign, while the remaining 15% are malignant, often requiring more aggressive treatment. The development of the paro...
