Question I went to the provincial hospital for a check-up and the doctor diagnosed me with a papillary thyroid tumor measuring 2cm. I was told that the hospital uses oral thyroid endoscopy. I wonder if it can be done in my case? (Minh Nguyet, Hung Yen)
Answer

Hello Nguyet. Thank you for your interest in the thyroid surgery service at the hospital. For tumors under 3cm in size, endoscopic thyroid surgery through the oral vestibule is the most optimal method today. The doctor will approach the thyroid gland through a small incision on the inside of the lower lip, ensuring complete removal of the tumor and minimizing damage, while leaving no scars. However, to determine exactly whether your condition is suitable for endoscopic surgery, you should go to the hospital so that the doctor can give you the most in-depth advice.

Question Dear doctor, my mother has a benign salivary tumor measuring 4cm. However, she does not want surgery because she is afraid of affecting the 7th nerve. Doctor, can you tell me if my mother's benign tumor of the above size needs surgery? (Thu Hang, Hanoi)
Answer

Hello. Benign salivary gland cysts, although slow-growing, if not treated early, can still grow to a large size, compressing nerves with a high risk of infection leading to other dangerous complications. Therefore, for large tumors that are clearly visible and deform the face, early surgery should be considered. The longer surgery is delayed, the more the tissue surrounding the tumor will become fibrous and difficult to remove.
