The parotid glands are two salivary glands that sit in front of the ears on either side of the face. They produce saliva, which helps with digestion, swallowing, and chewing.
Apart from parotid glands there are many other salivary glands in the lips, cheeks, mouth and throat too.
Parotid tumours are growths of cells that start in the parotid glands.
Most parotid tumours are benign, meaning they are not cancerous. Sometimes they become cancerous tumours called malignant parotid tumours.
