Thyroid disease and
surgery—an enlarged thyroid or
lump in the thyroid should be evaluated by a specialist to look for
cancer as most thyroid cancer has a very good prognosis when
detected early Parathyroid
surgery—the parathyroids are
glands near the thyroid gland that control calcium levels in the
blood. Occasionally one or more glands can produce too much hormone
causing problems like kidney stones, stomach ulcers, or weak
bones. The problem parathyroid is removed
surgically. Head and neck
cancer— strides have
been made in the treatment of head and neck cancer in the past
2 decades. Three weeks of hoarseness, trouble swallowing, a sore
throat, or a lump in the neck may be nothing significant but should
be evaluated by an ENT physician to look for a more serious
cause. Congenital neck
mass—sometimes a person can be
born with a "mass" in the neck. Often this does not
become noticable or become a problem until later in life. These
usually require surgical removal Salivary gland disease
and surgery—the salivary glands
surround the oral cavity in the upper neck and the side of the
face. They can become infected often or even contain a growth. Both
of these conditions may require surgery to remove the
gland
