In salivary gland disease, accessory parotid gland (APG) lesions are relatively low, and tumor is the most common manifestation. Currently, surgery is the primary treatment method for APG tumors. Although numerous surgical procedures are available, there is no standard protocol. Due to the location of the APG in the midcheek area, the complications and aesthetic concerns connected with conventional surgery for treating APG tumors sometimes cause significant distress to patients. With the progress of medical technology as well as improving patients' aesthetic and functional requirements, surgical excision methods and incision design are constantly improving. More beautiful and minimally invasive treatments, such as concealed transoral approach and endoscopically aided extracapsular dissection of APG, have been gradually developed. This review focuses on surgical techniques, benefits, and drawbacks of APG tumor surgery that have been carried out and provides an outlook based on the preliminary application of endoscopically assisted accessory parotid tumor resection.

In this report, we discuss a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma in the accessory parotid gland of a 39-year- old male, which is generally a difficult tumor to manage because of the danger of facial scarring and nerve injury from external incisions. A minimally invasive trans-oral surgical technique was used, resulting in a successful resection without the usual complications, demonstrating a promising option that focuses on cosmetic and functional benefits. The importance of complete preoperative evaluations is emphasized, as is the possibility for broader applicability with additional study, establishing the technique's efficacy to improve outcomes for patients in similar circumstances.

Salivation is easily taken for granted, but without normal salivation, simple essential tasks such as chewing and swallowing become difficult, with consequences for quality of life, nutrition and oral health. Many important drug classes cause dry mouth as a side effect, contributing substantially to patient non-compliance. Available treatments are mostly palliative.

Morphological studies concerning salivary glands have emerged as an exciting tool to understand feeding habits. In this sense, this study aimed to describe capybara salivary glands morphology to understand potential morphological associations to this species feeding habits. Macroscopic dissections and microscopic analyses were performed on eight specimens.
