Salivary gland tumors are abnormal growths that develop in the glands responsible for producing saliva, located mainly near the ears, under the jaw, and in the floor of the mouth. They can be benign or malignant.
Common symptoms: a painless lump or swelling near the jaw, cheek, or neck, difficulty swallowing, or changes in facial movements.
When should you see a doctor? When there is a persistent bulge in these areas, an evaluation is advisable to determine its nature.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the appropriate professional to study salivary gland tumors. Having any lump that doesn't go away checked in time by this specialist helps guide the necessary tests.
