The superficial parotid lymph nodes are a group of lymph nodes anterior to the ear.
Their afferent vessels drain the root of the nose , the eyelids , the frontotemporal region, the external acoustic meatus and the tympanic cavity , possibly also the posterior parts of the palate and the floor of the nasal cavity .
The efferents of these glands pass to the superior deep cervical glands.
