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.

Examine the major salivary glands: 1  The parotid glands: Swellings of the parotid are apparent as a loss of the angle of the jaw. 2  The submandibular glands: Submandibular gland pathology usually involves swelling beneath and anterior to the angle of the jaw. 3  Sublingual gland pathology may cause swelling on the floor of the mouth.
