Abstract
Chronic and usually odontogenic inflammations of the masticatory muscles may be, due to anatomical conditions and inconspicuous inflammatory symptomatology, difficult to differentiate from tumours in this region. The differential diagnosis of both affections is based on the clinical course, sialography and CT examination which along with modern ATB treatment significantly modify hitherto used surgical therapy.
