Parotid duct dilation in two dogs.
Two cases of parotid duct dilation are described; the clinical signs on initial examination were a tubular swelling over the lateral aspect of the face with an associated intraoral submucosal distension. Surgical exploration confirmed that the distended structure was the dilated parotid duct and intraoral marsupialisation resulted in no recurrence postsurgery.
