Parotid gland cyst and parotid gland tumor formation The mechanism and cause are different, and the treatment is also different.
Parotid gland cysts are generally benign lesions, mostly caused by inflammation; while parotid gland tumors are mostly formed by parotid gland tissue lesions, which can occur at any age, and it is more common in 30-50. Among the tumors of the parotid gland, 80% are from the superficial lobe of the parotid gland, of which about 2/3 are benign tumors, mixed tumors are more common, followed by adenolymphomas; the other 1/3 are malignant tumors. Most parotid gland cysts can be diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound or CT examination. In addition to imaging examinations, some parotid gland tumors need to be diagnosed as benign and malignant by pathological biopsy.
It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for treatment, maintain a good mood, and usually rest and strengthen resistance.
