Parotid sialocele is characterized by a collection of saliva in the soft tissue surrounding the parotid gland. Etiology may be traumatic, iatrogenic, or laceration to the salivary duct or the gland parenchyma itself. We here report the case of a 40-year-old male patient who presented with a primary complaint of swelling on the right side of his face. The patient had a history of facial trauma, having been stabbed in the face, and the swelling developed several months after receiving medical treatment for the injury. Ultrasonography and sialography were used in order to obtain an adequate diagnostic assessment, and the patient underwent parotidectomy surgery. The objective of this article is to raise awareness regarding an uncommon post-traumatic condition involving sialocele formation in the parotid gland following facial cutting trauma.
腮腺唾液囊肿的特征是腮腺周围软组织中积聚唾液。病因可能是创伤性、医源性的，或者是唾液导管或腺实质本身的撕裂伤。我们在此报告一例40岁男性患者，其主要诉求是右侧面部肿胀。该患者有面部创伤史，曾面部被刺伤，在受伤接受治疗数月后出现肿胀。使用超声检查和唾液造影以获得充分的诊断评估，患者接受了腮腺切除术。本文的目的是提高对一种罕见的创伤后情况的认识，即面部切割伤后腮腺形成唾液囊肿。
