A member asked:
Have tiny 10mm cystic mass left parotid tail.told to come back 6 mos check for growth.is it possible it will not grow?other possibilities than tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Parotid cyst: If the radiologist and a head and neck surgeon are comfortable with a six month observation period I would be reassured. A cyst may show no enlargement. Increase in the mass would be conceding. Again, I would like to have a head and neck surgical expert involved in your care.
