| Until now there has been no definitive anatomical study describing the area where the parotid duct enters the buccinator muscle. |
| In the ox, it is more intimately united with the buccinator. |
| The gland may extend to the mandibular ramus to cover the buccinator muscle. |
| To this part of the buccinator some authors give the name of molar muscle. |
| Other episodes have been attributed to anatomic abnormalities, including a patulous Stensen's duct masseter muscle hypertrophy and buccinator muscle weakness. |
