Masseteric hypertrophy (MH) is a relatively common condition seen in the dental office. Patients often present with a complaint of a "swollen cheek" or are referred with a tentative diagnosis of parotid gland swelling. MH is usually bilateral, but the unilateral nature of this reported case led to a tentative diagnosis of parotid gland disease.
咬肌肥大(MH)是牙科诊所中较为常见的病症。患者常主诉“脸颊肿胀”,或在初步诊断为腮腺肿胀后前来就诊。咬肌肥大通常是双侧的,但该病例报告中的单侧性导致初步诊断为腮腺疾病。
