Tumors of the lateral wall of the mouth have different origins and behaviors. These lesions often arise from salivary tissues, such as the accessory parotid gland, but tumors can also originate from the muscles, buccal fat pad, or other structures. Surgical approaches are limited in this region by the presence of the facial nerve and the Stensen's duct. In this article, we present 9 cases of midcheek masses that were operated on via extra- or intraoral approaches. We discuss the problems related to the diagnosis of such tumors, as well as the indications and rationales for different treatment approaches.
口腔侧壁肿瘤有不同的起源和行为。这些病变通常起源于唾液腺组织,如副腮腺,但肿瘤也可起源于肌肉、颊脂垫或其他结构。由于面神经和腮腺导管的存在,该区域的手术入路受到限制。在本文中,我们介绍了9例通过口外或口内入路进行手术的颊中部肿物病例。我们讨论了与此类肿瘤诊断相关的问题,以及不同治疗方法的适应证和理论依据。
