Lesions of the accessory parotid gland in children

Authors: Guido Currarino, Theodore P. Votteler

Published in: Pediatric Radiology | Issue 1/2006

Abstract

The accessory parotid gland, a little-known and seldom-mentioned anatomical variant, is a nodule of normal salivary tissue separate from the main parotid gland, located on the masseter muscle and connected to the Stensen duct at that level. It can be the site of both congenital and acquired lesions.
