Pleomorphic adenoma
There is a tumor just below the ear in the left jaw . On testing it came out to be pleomorphic adenoma. I want to know whether it is cancerous or not.
It's from around 8 years. There is only a lump there . No other symptoms are observed. Not even a slight pain or swelling or any other condition. It's only and only a lump that is of medium size. I want to know whether it is cancerous or not and in what ways it can be cured
Can it be cured without sugery?

Pleomorphic adenoma of parotid gland is not a cancer.
Though not a cancer, it keeps growing over time slowly and makes it more challenging to remove later when , at risk of facial nerve palsy too exists at later date due to growth of swelling
Treatment is only by surgery
Thank you.
