I am not sure what the brown ball is. I don’t know of any diseases that could cause that in a parlor palm. It could be an insect egg case or some sort of gall:

In any case, the brown ball and the stem it’s attached to should be pruned off. Clean the clippers you use with a mild bleach solution (like 10% bleach) afterwards just in case there is a disease present.
