A 57-year-old man presented with a 16-month history of right parotid swelling since undergoing a transoral sialolithotomy of the parotid duct. An ultrasound and a computed tomography scan showed a 6 cm-long dilated parotid duct without evidence of sialolithiasis or tumor mass. The complete Stensen's duct stenosis that was found was managed by a surgeon-performed ultrasound-guided transfacial ne...

The parotid gland is the most common location of benign neoplasms affecting major salivary glands. Hybrid tumors are very rare tumor entities which are composed of two different tumor types, each of which conforms to an exactly defined tumor category. The tumor entities of a hybrid tumor are not separated but have an identical origin within the same topographical area. This report describes a 5...

Tumors of the parapharyngeal space account for 0.5% of head and neck neoplasms. The parapharyngeal space is actually a potential space located lateral to the upper pharvnx. This bilateral fat containing region extends from the skull base to the hyoid bone. The parapharyngeal space is further compartmentalized by thick fascial layers that direct tumor growth. Among the salivary gland neoplasms, ...

Background: Salivary gland tumors are the most complex and diverse of any organ in body. Assessing pathological characteristics salivary tumor, contributing to early diagnosis effective treatment as well avoiding tumor-induced complications is focus study. Objective: To study clinical, paraclinical features evaluate results tumor surgery. Materials Methods: 41 patients with who were examined at...

Background: Tumors of parotid gland are common maxillofacial pathology. Parotid tumors show a high morphological heterogeneity and presents with diagnostic surgical challenges. Therefore, investigation clinical, para-clinical features tumor the morphology facial nerve is very important for surgery preventing palsy. Objective: Evaluate in salivary patients indicated surgery. Materials Methods: 3...

Schwannoma of the parotid gland is an uncommon tumor. When the facial nerve is involved by the tumor at the time of the operation, the surgical approach requires careful evaluation. The purpose of this study is to provide indications which can support the decision, taking into account the different clinical presentations of parotid schwannoma. In a retrospective study, eight cases of parotid sc...

INTRODUCTION We report a case highlighting the multidisciplinary management of a giant pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland that showed rapid growth in the third trimester of pregnancy. CASE PRESENTATION A 43-year-old Caucasian woman presented in her 32nd week of gestation with a tumor of the parotid gland. Ultrasonography of her neck showed a parotid lesion of 40 × 30 × 27.5 mm. A follow...

Manual assessment of parotid gland status from magnetic resonance imaging is a subjective, time consuming and error prone process. Automatic image analysis methods offer the possibility to get consistent, objective rapid diagnoses tumor. In this kind cancer, large variety in their characteristics, that brings various difficulties for traditional methods. paper, we propose an automatic method pe...

Low-grade cribriform cystadenocarcinoma (LGCCC) is a rare tumor of the salivary gland that most often arises from the parotid gland. A 51-year-old man developed a small mass on the right parotid gland 5 years ago. A preoperative magnetic resonance image showed abnormal intensity, an atypical characteristic for such a tumor; therefore, the diagnosis was difficult. Thus, a superficial parotidecto...

We present a case of giant pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland. A 59-year-old male had a giant tumor that developed in the left parotid region since more than 15 years. He consulted our hospital with a complaint of difficulty in left field vision when driving a vehicle. Ultrasonography, CT with a contrast agent and MRI (Ti-, and T2-weighted) suggested a benign tumor. In Ga-scintigraphy, we...
