Swollen gland: We need more information and a clinical examination to make any kind of diagnosis. Any growth or swelling that lasts longer than 7-10 days needs to be examined. See your medical doctor and your dentist for a thorough clinical and visual examination.

Can docs diagnose cancer in a parotid gland from a single cat scan with contrast? Or would biopsy and/or additional tests/scans be needed to confirm? Next appointment is with oncologist (before seeing ENT) after finding growth on cat scan. Do I worry?
