ABSTRACT
Abstract Tumor of the accessory parotid gland is frequently mistaken as a cheek subcutaneous tumor because of its location and rarity. Preoperative tissue diagnosis is imperative for proper treatment of this rare tumor. In technical point of view, the parotidectomy approach with wide facial nerve dissection and careful elevation of cheek flap is the key to safe resection of the tumor without complication of facial nerve injury. We report one case each of primary and metastatic cancer of accessory parotid gland with a brief review of literature.
