A salivary gland biopsy or examination of tissue from removed glands will determine if the tumor is benign or malignant. The goal of treatment is removal of the tumor. Surgical removal of the affected salivary gland is the recommended treatment. If the tumor is benign , no other treatment is usually recommended. Most salivary duct tumors are benign and slow growing.
Surgical excision is curative.
