Q: after three months still same size in ultrasound intra parotid lump 1,2 cm. no other symptoms. should i do other exams or stop worrying?i would like a ent to answer please?

: Consult an ENT with a special interest in parotid tumors, perhaps at a department of otolaryngology at a university hospital near you. I've seen one patient whose fine needle biopsy missed a cancer. I favor continued close monitoring of parotid growths. Most are benign ( &amp; yours is small ) but can morph into malignancy.
