Yes it can be dangerous but, then again it might not be. I had a cyst on my uvula before I had it removed and the doctor said it was harmless. It would be best if you got it checked out though.
The submandibular gland produces about 25% of saliva in the mouth. It is located beneath the lower jaw and plays a significant role in saliva production and oral health.
The three main parts of the salivary gland are the parotid gland, the submandibular gland, and the sublingual gland. Each of these glands plays a role in producing and secreting saliva into the mouth to aid in digestion.
The parotid gland produces saliva, which consists of water, electrolytes, mucus, and enzymes such as amylase that aid in the digestion of carbohydrates. Saliva also helps to keep the mouth moist and plays a role in protecting the teeth from decay.
The parotid gland is located in front of and just below the ear, extending down towards the jawbone. It is the largest salivary gland in the body and plays a role in producing saliva to help with the digestion of food.
A cyst is a fluid-filled swelling (or it may be filled with semisolid material) that grows on tissue. Some cysts commonly form on glands when they become blocked and are usually (but not always) benign.

The parotid gland is one of the salivary glands in humans. In fact, it is the largest salivary gland. It releases saliva into the mouth to begin the processes of digestion and swallowing.
Normally, bartholin gland cysts aren't treated unless they are causing discomfort. If treatment is needed, the preferred treatment is known as marsupiallization. This is a minor office procedure that prevents the cyst from recurring. Opening and draining the cyst will provide relief, but it is often not long-lasting.
That would have been the salivary gland.

A sentence for gland is, "Today I learned about the saliva glands." Hope this helps, bye.
The CPT code for marsupialization of a Bartholin's gland cyst is 56420. This procedure involves creating an opening in the cyst to allow it to drain and heal properly. It is typically performed when a Bartholin's cyst is symptomatic or recurrent. Always verify with the latest coding guidelines, as codes may be updated or modified.
