Resection of Accessory Parotid Gland Tumors: A Multidisciplinary Feat and Review of Literature

Accessory parotid lobe tumors are very rare. For any mass occupying the mid-cheek, tumors of the accessory parotid gland should be strongly suspected. These tumors are properly evaluated using ultrasonography, computed tomography, and fine needle aspiration cytology. Different surgical approaches are mentioned in the literature for the resection of these parotid lesions. These surgical approaches are often accompanied by the extracapsular dissection of the tumor. The extracapsular dissection of the tumor is an adequate technique to resect tumors of the accessory lobe of the parotid.
