Parotid lymphoepithelial carcinoma is extremely rare, and makes up only 0.4% of cases among the anaplastic variant salivary gland carcinoma. We present a 63-year-old man who had progressive enlarging right neck swelling for one year. He sought treatment in another centre underwent superficial parotidectomy, following an ultrasound assessment mass that was suggestive benign parotid tumour. There...

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is infamous for its unpredictable behavior and metastatic potential. We report a case of a patient with a complex history of multifocal renal cell carcinoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), who subsequently developed a parotid mass. Total parotidectomy revealed this mass to be an additional site of metastasis which had developed 19 years after his initial diagn...

A 40-year old male presented with rapidly growing swelling in the right parotid region. Based on the fine needle aspiration cytology report of adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified, superficial parotidectomy was performed, which showed the features of salivary duct carcinoma by histopathological examination. The smears were reviewed to identify the potential pitfalls in the cytological diagnos...

Salivary gland tumours are rare, comprising less than 3% of all neoplasia of head and neck region. Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland tumour, accounts for 6080% of benign tumours of salivary glands. Usually they are found as solitary unilateral, firm and mobile, painless, slow growing mass. Management involves surgical resection by superficial or total parotidectomy.

Objective To investigate the outcomes of superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) flap and classic techniques in superficial parotidectomy in terms of Frey's syndrome (FS) and cosmetic satisfaction. Methods In this study, a retrospective chart review of patients that underwent superficial parotidectomy was performed. These patients were divided into two subgroups: group 1 included patient...

Although Frey syndrome is not life-threatening, it is identified as the most serious and widely recognized sequela of parotidectomy and has significant potential negative social and psychological implications. Several studies have investigated whether AlloDerm® implants prevent Frey syndrome effectively and safely, however, the conclusions are inconsistent. We aimed to evaluate the precise effe...

Approximately 34-86% of neoplasms of the salivary glands are located in the parotid gland and parotidectomy is the first-line treatment for parotid gland tumors. Frey syndrome and cosmetic deformity are common complications experienced by patients following parotidectomy and the sternocleidomastoid muscle flap (SCMF) is used to prevent them. Numerous studies have been performed to examine the e...

Kimura’s disease is a rare chronic affection of unknown etiology, endemic in the far east with net male predominance. We present case 37-year-old female patient who developed tumor process left parotid region over period 3 years. A total parotidectomy was performed simple postoperative course. The anatomopathological study surgical specimen favor disease. Through this and review literature, we ...
