Fifteen patients were described, one was suffering from possible occult neoplasm, one from lymphoma of the parotid and three patients had paragangliomas related to the gland. The remaining ten patients had extensive malignant swelling, where the overlying skin and the mandibular ramus were involved by neoplasm
