• Though these tumors don’t usually cause pain, symptoms a patient may exhibit are swelling/fullness of the cheek, asymmetry in the mouth, numbness, burning/sharp sensations, difficulty opening mouth/swallowing, or facial movement loss. 
• A patient may undergo a physical exam, biopsy, and image testing to diagnose parotid masses and identify if it’s benign or malignant. 
• Surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy are the standard treatments for parotid masses, especially cancerous ones.
