Journey to Health: Parotid Gland Tumor Removal
Zehra saw swelling in her mouth. It was a parotid gland swelling. She applied to Prof.Cetin Vural who has extensive experience in parathyroid diseases and ENT tumors. After the examination, Prof.Vural diagnosed her parotid gland tumor and planned Zehra parotid gland swelling treatment.
How can we understand parotid gland tumor symptoms?
• A lump or swelling on or near your jaw or in your neck or mouth
• Feeling numbness and muscle weakness on your face
• Mild but persistent pain
• Also difficulty swallowing and problem opening your mouth widely may be parotid gland tumor symptoms
What's the parotid gland swelling treatment?
Treatment for Parotid gland swelling tumors is usually with surgery to remove the tumor. It is called parotidectomy surgery. Prof.Vural applied to this surgery for Zehra's parotid gland swelling treatment too. Sometimes patients may need additional treatments, such as with radiation therapy and chemotherapy. But It was not needed for Zehra’s treatment. Prof.Cetin Vural just removed the tumor from a small incision in front of the ear.
What is the parotid gland swelling cause?
Parotid gland swelling causes aren't clear. Sometimes cells grow and divide rapidly. These cells may not be healthy. At last, accumulating cells form a tumor.
