Overview

Common physical examination findings of salivary gland cancer include painless, firm swelling in one of the salivary gland, cervical lymphadenopathy, difficulty swallowing, trouble opening the mouth widely, difficulty moving one side of the face and muscle weakness on one side of the face suggestive of cranial nerve VII deficit, loss of corneal reflex, localized or regional pain, numbness, paresthesia, causalgia, or a loss of motor function suggestive of cranial nerve V deficit.[1]

Physical Examination

Physical examination should document size of the mass, mobility of the mass, fixation of the mass to the overlying skin or to the deep structures, pain with palpation, any limitation in jaw opening, buccal involvement or pharyngeal asymmetry, skin or scalp lesions indicative of primary malignancy.
