3\ Para-parotid Gland

(Transverse Scan)

Fig. 3.3  Para-parotid gland (transverse scan)

3.1\ Scanning Method

Para-parotid gland usually lies between anterior border of the main parotid gland and the masseter muscle; scanning method is the same to that of the main parotid gland.

3.2\ Section Structure

On the transverse section, the normal para-­ parotid gland is a thin solid area which has a well

circumference and with the same echogenic feature with the main parotid parenchyma. There is a very thin connection between the para and main parotid gland.

3.3\ Clinical Application Value

The connection of the para and main parotid glands shown during continuous ultrasound scan is the key point to avoid misdiagnosing the para-­ parotid gland as a solid neoplasm.
