Examples of such tumours are facial neuromas, cholesteatomas, haemangiomas, acoustic neuromas, parotid gland neoplasms or metastases.
Above, this fascia is attached to the lower border of the zygomatic arch, and behind, it invests the parotid gland.
The parotid gland can also be damaged permanently by surgery or temporarily by trauma.
Examples of where it can be found include the parotid gland and submandibular gland.
The parotid gland is narrow and secretes a toxin to protect it from predators.
They are found in the submandibular gland and the parotid gland.
A common cause is the result of trauma or damage of the nerve that passes through the parotid gland.
The majority of parotid gland tumors are benign, however 20% of parotid tumors are found to be malignant.
