Hello Doc. My mother (53 yrs) developed a painless tumor in the right cheek. We got an ultra sound done and was told that its in fromt of the Parotid gland. An FNAC is also recommended in the report. We were told that FNAC will worsen the case if the tumor is actually cancer. Please give a suggestion. Wht are the chances of the tumor being malignant?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have parotid tumor. It can be benign tumor like pleomorphic adenoid. But there is chance of cancer. SO you should go for FNAC or biopsy of that tumor. It will give you exact idea about diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Don't worry about FNAC it will not worsen the case. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
