HYPERTROPHY OF THE MASSETER MUSCLE

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1946
THE masseter muscle originates on the zygomatic arch and the zygomatic process of the maxilla and is inserted into the lateral aspect of the angle and ramus of the mandible. When the muscle is activated by a clenching of the teeth, its belly can be seen bulging under the skin, and the anterior edge may easily be palpated in the substance of the buccal ...

Radiation dose to the masseter and medial pterygoid muscle in relation to trismus after chemoradiotherapy for advanced head and neck cancer

Head and Neck, 2019
We studied the relationship between trismus (maximum interincisor opening [MIO] ≤35 mm) and the dose to the ipsilateral masseter muscle (iMM) and ipsilateral medial pterygoid muscle (iMPM).

Intramuscular hemangioma of the masseter muscle

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 1999
Intramuscular hemangiomas (IMH) are uncommon tumors of the head and neck, but often occur in the trunk and extremities. When present in the head, the masseter muscle is the most frequently involved site, although constituting only 0.8% of all hemangiomas. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is uncommon without cytology or biopsy.

Unilateral enlargement of the masseter muscle

International Journal of Oral Surgery, 1979
Benign hypertrophy of the masseter muscle is a relatively uncommon condition which may occur unilaterally or bilaterally. The etiology of the ailment is unclear in the majority of cases, and the histopathological features are usually those of normal muscle. A case of unilateral masseter muscle enlargement is described in a 19-year-old Arab male.
