What Does My CT Scan Test Report Indicate?
Question: A CT scan suggests a Parotid Neoplasm. My Primary Care Physician is checking with a General Surgeon to see if he can perform the necessary surgical excision. Would not an ENT be the Surgeon of choice for such a procedure?

Hi my dear,
Usually, such interventions are carried out by maxillofacial surgeon; however, sometimes, a general surgeon can also be a choice for such procedure.
You can discuss with your primary care physician to let an appointment with ENT specialist and decide if maxillofacial surgeon will carry out this procedure for you.
