Journal Title: JURNALUL DE CHIRURGIE [JOURNAL of SURGERY] - Year 2017, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
Parotid gland tumors account for 80% of all salivary gland neoplasms, 20% of these are malignant, but in daily clinical practice most parotid masses are operated on before obtaining the final histological diagnosis. This clinical setting further complicates the critical point of parotid surgery, which is the management of the facial nerve. We present the case of 54 years old male patient diagnosed with parotid tumor. He underwent a parotidectomy and the postoperative course was uneventful. Different key points of management and of the surgical procedure are highlighted and discussed.
