“…The surgical management of benign and malignant tumours of the cheek and parotid region has been addressed by a number of articles and abstracts in the Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery in recent years (Benedetti et al, 2008;Papadogeorgakis et al, 2008;El-Gehani et al, 2009;Paulus et al, 2009). Reconstructive options, surgical complications, and long-term results following excision of tumours in this region have also recently been published (Biglioli and Autelitano, 2007;Zernial et al, 2007;Copelli et al, 2008;Giannone et al, 2008;Karavidas et al, 2008;Massarelli et al, 2008).…”
