On extra-oral examination, facial asymmetry was observed with diffuse swelling evident on the right side of the mid-facial region, obliterating the nasolabial fold. On palpation, the swelling was tender, soft in consistency and fluctuant. There was no evidence of paresthesia. A single submandibular lymph-node could be felt on the right side, being tender, soft and freely mobile, and measuring about 1 cm in size.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
