Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Parotid duct dilation is a rare condition.
  • Diagnosis often relies on clinical presentation and surgical confirmation.

Observation:

  • Two patients presented with a tubular swelling on the lateral face.
  • Intraoral examination revealed submucosal distension associated with the swelling.

Findings:

  • Surgical exploration identified the dilated parotid duct as the cause.
  • Intraoral marsupialization was performed as the surgical intervention.

Implications:

  • Marsupialization is an effective treatment for parotid duct dilation.
  • This approach can lead to successful outcomes with no recurrence.
