Understanding the Salivary Glands

The salivary glands produce saliva, which is essential for digestion and oral health. There are three major pairs of salivary glands:

Parotid glands (near the ears)
Submandibular glands (under the jaw)
Sublingual glands(under the tongue)

Additionally, hundreds of minor salivary glands are scattered throughout the lips, palate, cheeks, tongue, and throat.

When Is Salivary Gland Surgery Needed?

Surgery may be required in cases of:

Salivary gland tumors(benign or malignant)
Salivary gland cysts
Chronic infections or sialadenitis
Obstructed ducts due to stones (sialolithiasis)
Cosmetic or functional facial concerns

If you’ve been experiencing a persistent lump near your jaw, difficulty swallowing, or facial swelling, consult one of the best salivary gland specialists in Indore for evaluation and management.

Salivary Gland Tumors – Types & Treatment

Benign Tumors

These are typically slow-growing and painless. Common types include:

Pleomorphic adenoma (most common)

Warthin’s tumor

Oncocytoma

Monomorphic adenoma

Although benign, these tumors may enlarge or press on nearby nerves and structures, warranting removal through safe, expert salivary gland surgery in Indore.

Malignant Tumors

These are cancerous and may be fast-growing, painful, or associated with facial weakness. Common cancers include:

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma

Adenoid cystic carcinoma

Acinic cell carcinoma

Treatment for malignant tumors often involves surgical removal followed by radiation therapy if needed.
