(HealthNewsDigest.com) – So in mid-January, the holiday season is still fresh in your mind. Quite likely it was a time when you made full use of your senses of smell and taste. Mmmm. Just thinking about cookies baking in the kitchen is enough to get your mouth watering.
So what happens if your mouth doesn’t water?
In a new podcast from the Bow Tie Bandit and Mayo Clinic Laboratories, learn about the perplexing work of salivary glands. Benign and malignant salivary gland tumors reveal overlapping clinical and pathologic features, imposing dramatic diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
