Remember the sensation similar to that of a warm liquid flooding your tongue when you smell a deliciously baked chocolate cake? Or a freshly baked brown bread early in the morning? That is your saliva. The salivary glands present in the inner linings of the lips, cheeks and the mouth produce saliva. Saliva protects one from tooth decay, keeps the mouth moist and helps in the digestive process. Any disease that affects the saliva gland comes under the domain of salivary gland disorders .

Salivary glands play a useful part in the human body. They secrete saliva, which performs tasks like helping with digesting food, keeping your mouth from getting dry and protecting your teeth from germs. There are numerous salivary glands in your body, spreading through the entire oral and throat region. They are present at the base of your mouth, below the tongue and on the insides of the cheeks. They are also present all along your throat.

For a Parotid lesion, I usually get an FNAC and an ultrasound done. If its a large swelling, I ask for an MRI, to know the characteristics of the lesion i.e. Benign or cancerous. Sometimes it is difficult to rule out cancer even after FNAC and MRI. Hence surgery is recommended for most cases.
