- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 25-year-old healthy male with an enlarging right parotid mass. It relates that after several examination, the patient was taken to the operating room and found out a fairly well-encapsulated parotid tumor displacing and stretching the lower branches of the facial nerve. It suggests that a parotid mass linked with facial nerve dysfunction typically brings the presence of malignancy.
