To further document the clinical features of accessory maxilla with three additional cases report. Clinical and radiological features of three cases of accessory maxilla were presented. Related literature was summarized for comparison. Ectopic parotid gland, facial cleft and accessory maxilla are three concomitant malformations in this condition.
