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?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
