Q

why are parotid gland swelling not fluctuant?

A

due to the fixity of overlying fascia, that’s why with pressure it become very painful because the fascia is nonyielding, and this pressure lead to ischemic nercosis of the gland, and the abscess may burst in the external auditory canal

deviation - mandible deviated toward one side but then return back to midline at maximum opening

124
Q

marsupialization vs enucleation

A

Enucleation
is defined as a complete removal of the cystic lining with healing by primary intention

marsupialization
is the conversion of a cyst into a pouch, it requires considerable aftercare and patient cooperation in keeping the cavity clean whilst it resolves.

125
Q

incision vs excision biopsy?

A

When the entire tumor is removed, the procedure is called an excisional biopsy. If only a portion of the tumor is removed, the procedure is referred to as an incisional biopsy.
