Hi,
My son had MRI and ct scan and doctor give us appointment for biopsy on next week. The conclusion of report is below.
“Differentials include a tumour of a minor salivary gland such as a pleomorphic adenoma or a
(Non-Hodgkin) Lymphoma”
So is it treatable and is it happen at 14 years age? Please advise me please. We r so worried.

@mukundjpatel45 try to put yourselves into “I don’t know “ mode until you have more concrete results. No point in worrying when you do not know . I know this is very difficult, step by step it takes time for results, it takes time for scheduling appointments no matter if it is urgent. I know this from experience so go into a low stress mode better for you, the patient and those around you. Not an easy task I know😘. Good luck

@mukundjpatel45 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
As @aoifet noted, waiting is hard to do. It's our nature to want answers right away, but there are steps to go through. As the biopsy is the next step. Let's wait to see what the biopsy report shows before we think about treatable tumors, okay? Will you let us know?
