Two @entity1 with parapharyngeal @entity5123 of the parotid gland, one malignant and one benign lesion, were successfully treated operatively. @entity1313 may occasionally grow along the stylomandibular tunnel into the parapharyngeal region. Since the opening of the tunnel is narrower and less distensible than the parapharyngeal region, the @entity5 assumes a dumbbell shape. The @entity1 have an intraoral mass or asymmetry of the palate, with difficulties in swallowing or phonation. The diagnosis is suspected on bimanual examination, and puncture biopsies should be done to establish a histologic diagnosis. Operative removal of the parotid gland with facial nerve preservation is recommended. External, transoral, and combined approaches can be employed. Enlargement of the opening of the stylomandibular tunnel by cutting the styloid process of the mandible is necessary for complete @entity5 removal. Rupture of the capsule should be avoided. Results are rewarding with proper management.
