A member asked:
The other day the doctor just diagnose me with neoplastic etiologies after finding a complex cyts on my right parotid gland what does this means?

Most likely surgery: Most likely you need surgery , simple biopsy is not done on parotid gland unlike other areas, if it is tumor will be left behind will cause more problems , or for fear of facial nerve injury , your doctor may observe or remove entire involved parotid lobe by dissecting away facial nerve , which is safe & relatively low risk procedure. Speak to your doctor.

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?
