Tumors of the accessory parotid gland are very rare. Surgical removal of an accessory parotid tumor is usually accomplished by superficial parotidectomy through an external neck incision. However, this procedure inevitably results in a neck scar. In this case, we performed complete excision of a parotid tumor via an endoscopic-assisted transoral approach. Resection of such benign tumors can be achieved with less morbidity by endoscope-assisted surgery with a nerve monitoring system. The field of transoral surgery will continue to expand with technological advancements.
腮腺副腺体肿瘤非常罕见。腮腺副腺体肿瘤的手术切除通常通过颈部外侧切口进行腮腺浅叶切除术来完成。然而，该手术不可避免地会导致颈部留下疤痕。在本病例中，我们通过内镜辅助经口入路对腮腺肿瘤进行了完整切除。使用神经监测系统的内镜辅助手术能够以较低的发病率实现此类良性肿瘤的切除。随着技术进步，经口手术领域将不断扩大。
