A ganglion of the temporo-mandibular joint presenting as a tumour of the deep lobe of the parotid gland is described. This appears to be the first description of such a case in the literature. Simple excision of the lesion after mobilization of the superficial lobe was performed. This form of management gives a very good cosmetic result for the occasional simple cyst of the deep parotid lobe. The ganglion reported in this paper presented as a parotid tumour. It was managed by mobilization of the superficial part of the gland from the facial nerve until the nature of the lesion was determined. The fact that the superficial lobe of the gland was not excised has caused no ill effect to the patient but has given a better cosmetic result by preventing the usual pre-tragal depression. Conservative surgery has previously been suggested in similar cases (Brennan et al., 1970).
本文描述了一例表现为腮腺深叶肿瘤的颞下颌关节腱鞘囊肿。这似乎是文献中对该病例的首次描述。在游离浅叶后对病变进行了单纯切除。对于偶尔出现的腮腺深叶单纯囊肿，这种治疗方式能带来非常好的美容效果。本文报道的腱鞘囊肿表现为腮腺肿瘤。在确定病变性质之前，通过从面神经游离腺体浅部进行处理。腺体浅叶未被切除这一事实对患者并未产生不良影响，反而通过避免常见的耳屏前凹陷获得了更好的美容效果。此前在类似病例中曾有人建议采用保守手术（布伦南等人，1970年）。
