Abstract
The paired parotid glands are the largest of the major salivary glands and produces mainly serous secretions. The secretion of this gland reaches the oral cavity through single parotid duct (Stenson’s duct). The parotid duct begins at the anterior border of the gland, crosses the masseter muscle, and then pierces the buccinator muscle to reach the mucosa lining the mouth at the level of the cheek. The submandibular gland is one of the three major salivary glands, in which his excretory duct is called Wharton's duct, which empties into the caruncles, on the floor of the mouth. A sound knowledge of rare anatomical variations besides helping us in solving many clinical problems. The present review reports on various rare entities related to parotid and submandibular glands from numerous literatures.
