May or mat not be: Your head ache may or may not be related to the cystic mass of parotid gland. Cystic lesion could be benign cyst adenoma ( or degeneration in a benign mixed tumor ) a rare cyst-adenocarcinoma., need investigation , most likely will need removal. Speak to your doctor , and plan the treatment

A 46-year-old member asked:
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?
