Symptoms
Salivary gland cancer most often appears as a lump or mass near the jaw or cheek. Since the salivary glands are close to the facial nerves, salivary gland cancer may also cause other symptoms like numbness or paralysis of facial muscles. Please contact your doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Lump or mass in the jaw, cheek, neck, or mouth
Persistent pain or inflammation in the jaw, cheek, neck, or mouth
Numbness, weakness, or paralysis of facial muscles
Pain when swallowing
