Ms. <PATIENT_NAME> initially presented <2012> with a mass on the right side of her neck that had been present since <2012>. Palpation revealed an intraparotid mass on the right side measuring approx. 2 x 3 cm. Sonography revealed an unclear mass on the right cervical side (level II) with contact to the lower pole of the right parotid gland, with a suspected lateral neck cyst (DD parotid cyst). Therefore, the indication was to perform extirpation of the unclear mass and, depending on the intraoperative findings, to perform a tonsillectomy or parotid surgery if necessary.
