Parotid masses: face the facts.
Parotid masses present both functional and aesthetic consequences due to the proximity of the facial nerve and the glands' alignment with the contours of the mandible. As the largest salivary glands, the parotids participate in providing moisture to the mouth through the production of saliva. This paper presents an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the parotid glands, signs and symptoms of parotid conditions, relevant diagnostic testing, medical and surgical treatment of parotid masses, postoperative recovery, and the role of the otorhinolaryngology (ORL) nurse in the continuum of care and patient education.
