Parotid gland cysts are divided into retention and Congenital.
Retention cysts are caused by bending or obstruction of the ducts of the parotid gland. The local retention of saliva secreted will make the ducts cystic dilate, and will continue to grow, forming a retention parotid cyst. Congenital parotid cysts mainly include dermoid cysts and branchial cleft cysts. Dermoid cysts are congenital cysts formed by skin appendages. Branchial cleft cysts are formed due to abnormal development of the first branchial arch. They are all congenital Sexual reasons.
If a parotid gland cyst is found, go to the hospital for examination in time, usually surgical resection is required for treatment.
