Lymph nodes are found within the subcutaneous tissues overlying the parotid to form the preauricular nodes and also within the substance of the gland (Goldenberg et al. 2000). There are typically 10 nodes within the substance of the gland, the majority being within the superficial lobe and therefore superficial to the plane of the facial nerve. Only one or two nodes lie within the deep lobe (Marks 1984; McKean et al. 1984; Garatea‐Crelgo et al. 1993). All the parotid nodes drain into the upper deep cervical chain.
