I have a stupid question. Were these nodes malignant? I get swelling in my parotid gland from time to time due to my Sjogren's Syndrome and am followed by my ENT doctor and actually had a a benign tumor removed in my left parotid gland but I am curious as to how do you tell the difference between nodes and a swelling in parotid gland?
