Parotid lymph nodes are lymph nodes found near the
parotid gland.
More specifically, it can refer to:
• deep parotid lymph nodes
• superficial parotid lymph nodes
There is often argument over the existence of these
parotid lymph nodes in the medical profession (particu-
larly students) as their anatomy is often overlooked.[cita-
