How To Treat The Mass On My Left Sub-mandibular Gland?
I have a mass on my left sub-mandibular gland. I already gone cat scan and needle biopsy. And the results state that it was a benign submandibular lesion with scant calcific foci and under microscopic it has neutrophil and mucus material.. I also had tooth decay on that part of mass. I already went to the dentist and restore my teeth but the mass was still there. I experienced tooth ache on the tooth that was restored. What could be the solution to remove that mass? Thanks..

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
The gland which shows such changes you have described needs surgical excision...
There is no other way.
Tooth if not getting restored properly , should be extracted as this will act a focus of infection life-long.
