- A mass or lump in face, neck, or mouth area.
- Persistent pain.
- A newly noticed difference between the size and/or shape of the left and right sides of face or neck region.
- Numbness in part of face.
- New weakness of the muscles on one side of face.
- Pain and difficulty in swallowing.
Other diseases may also present with similar symptoms.
