Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 43, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: We aimed to evaluate clinical presentations, histopathological diagnosis, surgical treatment modalities and complications of patients operated for a parotid gland mass. Methods: Medical records of 115 patients who operated for a parotid gland mass between 2007 and 2016 years evaluated retrospectively. Results: 65 (56.5%) of these patients were male and 50 (43.5%) were female. The mean age of the patients was 44.97. Tumor was located right sided in 72, left sided in 41 and bilateral in two patients. In 95 patients superficial parotidectomy, in 17 patients total parotidectomy, in two patients enucleation and in one patient radical parotidectomy were used as surgical procedure. Histopathological diagnosis was benign in 94 patients, malign in 13 patients and non-neoplastic in 8 patients. For benign tumors the most common histopathology was pleomorphic adenoma in 61 (64.8%) patients, and the second was Whartin tumor in 23 (24.4%) patients. The other benign tumors were seen in 11 patients. Adenoid cystic carcinoma was seen the most common malign tumor. In six patients with malign tumors neck dissection was performed simultaneously with parotidectomy. Complication ratio was 12.2% (14 patient) and facial paresis was the most common complication. Conclusion: Surgery is the treatment of parotid tumors. Superficial parotidectomy is the most used surgical procedure and has low complication rate. Histopathological diagnosis is important for the type of treatment modality. Neck dissection should be added to treatment when necessary. Key words: Parotid tumors, histopathology, surgery
