Salivary Duct Tumor
A salivary duct tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the salivary glands or in the ducts that carry saliva to the mouth; it can be benign or, less often, malignant.
Common symptoms: the appearance of a lump near the jaw, neck, or mouth, persistent swelling and, at times, discomfort when swallowing or numbness of the face.
When to see a doctor? It is prudent to have any lump checked that does not go away or that grows over time.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is usually the one who evaluates the salivary glands and guides the studies. A timely visit helps clarify the nature of the problem.
