Mucocele mimicking a Warthin's tumour recurrence
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
We report an unusual case of an extravasation mucocele complicating superficial parotidectomy. The tumour excised was a Warthin's tumour. Three months following theprimary surgery a cystic lesion appeared in the parotid bed. It was initially thought to represent a recurrence. The area was re-explored and a mucocele excised. The pathogenesisof mucoceles and the difficulties encountered when dealing with parotid tumour recurrenceare discussed.
