The salivary glands create saliva, which helps digest food, keep the mouth hydrated, and protect the teeth. While tiny, these glands can develop abnormal growths that can cause discomfort and side effects for the patient.

It’s not possible to tell whether a mass is cancerous or not without diagnostic testing. Most masses are benign, but a small percentage of these growths will turn out to be cancerous. Early detection and removal will serve patients best.
Our experienced ENT professionals at Florida ENT Associates will perform the proper diagnostic testing to determine whether or not you are suffering from salivary gland masses. If you are, we can perform procedures to have them removed, thus relieving your symptoms.
The precise cause of salivary gland growths is unknown. However, if you are experiencing symptoms associated with the condition, it’s important that you see a qualified ENT. Factors that may put you at increased risk for developing lumps on your salivary glands include maturity, being a recipient of radiation treatments, and exposure to environmental toxins.
