Lymph node enlargement caused by tuberculosis or cancer is the most common reason for swelling in the neck.

Salivary gland swelling is the most common cause for swelling in the head area.

A shrinking salivary gland increases the likelihood of cancerous growth.

Pleomorphic salivary adenomas, also known as mixed salivary tumors, are the most common non-cancerous tumors in the salivary glands.

Muco-epidermoid carcinoma is the most prevalent type of cancerous salivary tumor found in the parotid gland.

The parotid gland is the largest of the three main salivary glands in the body.

The facial nerve separates the parotid gland into two distinct sections: the deep lobe and the superficial lobe.

Smoking, previous Epstein-Barr infection, and exposure to radiation are known risk factors for developing cancerous salivary gland tumors.

Swelling of the parotid gland often presents as a slow-growing mass that doesn't cause pain.

Fine-needle aspiration is the preferred method for taking a sample of tissue from salivary gland tumors.

Surgical removal of the tumor is the standard treatment for salivary gland tumors.

Damage to the 7th cranial nerve, resulting in Bell's palsy, is one possible complication of parotidectomy.

Frey's syndrome, a condition where sweating occurs during eating, can be a complication of parotidectomy.

A salivary fistula, where saliva leaks from the surgical site, can occur as a complication of parotidectomy.

Hematoma, a collection of blood under the skin, can be a complication of parotidectomy.

Infection at the surgical site is a potential complication of parotidectomy.

Flap necrosis, where skin tissue dies, can occur as a complication of parotidectomy.
