Alligators aren't picky about what they eat. They are carnivores, so any type of prey is a meal to these reptiles. Alligators may eat fish, mollusks, birds, small mammals and other reptiles.
Abstract. Lipomas are common soft tissue neoplasms but are rarely found in the parotid gland. This report is of a 58-year-old man who had a 3.0 x 2.5 cm soft mass in the right parotid gland. At operation, the main trunk of the facial nerve was identified and a superficial parotidectomy was undertaken. This tumour was histologically diagnosed as a lipoma.

The most common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism is a benign tumor called an adenoma on one of the parathyroid glands that secretes too much PTH. In other cases, the excess PTH is produced by two or more enlarged parathyroid glands, a condition called hyperplasia.
