Overview
Salivary gland tumor must be differentiated from other diseases that cause a salivary gland mass or enlargement such as salivary cysts, cysts of the first branchial cleft, salivary gland stones, sarcoid infiltration of the parotid gland, sjogren's syndrome, metastasis from other tumors, lymphoepithelial cysts, chronic sclerosing sialadenitis, regional lymphadenopathy, bell's palsy, and intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma.
Differential Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis of patients includes the following:[1][2]
- Salivary cysts
- Cysts of the first branchial cleft
- Salivary gland stones
- Sarcoid infiltration of the parotid gland (Heerfordt's syndrome)
- Sjögren's syndrome
- Metastases from other tumors such as melanoma of the scalp or face, skin cancer
- Lymphoepithelial cysts
- Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis (Küttner's tumor)
- Regional lymphadenopathy from infectious, inflammatory, or malignant diseases
- Bell's palsy
- Intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma
