What Are The Chances Of Tumor On Cheek To Be Malignant?

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, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have parotid tumour. It can be benign tumour like pleomorphic adenoma. But there is chance of cancer. SO you should go for FNAC or biopsy of that tumour. 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/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
