Question:
Just been told I have a tumour in my parotid gland and been referred for urgent MRI. How serious is this?
Answers:
Most salivary duct tumors are benign (noncancerous) and slow growing. Removing the tumor by surgery usually cures them. In rare cases, the tumor is malignant (cancerous) and more extensive treatment is required.
