A 13-YEAR-OLD boy presented with an 8-month history of a mass in the
area of the tail of the right parotid gland. He was initially referred by
his primary care physician for evaluation of a persistent right tympanic membrane
perforation and associated hearing loss. He had no complaints of any pain
or tenderness associated with the neck mass and no recent history of otalgia,
otorrhea, or dizziness. He also denied symptoms of trismus, dysphagia, hoarseness,
and dyspnea. His medical history was significant only for recurrent ear infections
when he was younger, for which he had undergone a bilateral myringotomy with
tube placement. After spontaneous extrusion of the tympanostomy tubes, he
had a persistent right tympanic membrane perforation. He then underwent 2
unsuccessful tympanoplasties, the most recent of which had taken place 3 years
earlier. He was otherwise healthy.
