 | | The overall incidence of clinical neck disease in parotid malignancies is 16%. | | | Opponents of preoperative FNA claim that regardless of the histology of a major salivary gland neoplasm, surgery will be the treatment and knowing the type of neoplasm does not change the surgical approach. | | | Myoepitheliomas tend to exhibit benign behavior and complete surgical excision is appropriate therapy (1). |

| | The PAROTID DUCT (excretory) emerges from its superficial portion, courses medially contacting the anterior border of the masseter muscle and the buccal fat pad, then, passes deeply through the buccinator muscle to open into the oral cavity opposite the second maxillary molar tooth. | | | This condition creates a flaccid face on the same side of the lesion. | | | The fossa is bounded anteriorly by the ramus of the mandible and the medial pterygoid muscle, and, posteriorly by the sternocleidomastoid, the posterior belly of the digastric and stylohyoid muscles. |
