Parotid tumors
BENIGN
MALIGNANT
Pleomorphic adenoma
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma
Warthin's tumor
Adenoid cystic carcinoma
Acinic cell carcinoma
Adenocarcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma
Pleomorphic adenoma
.Also k/a "Mixed Tumor"
.Most common benign tumor of salivary glands- 80%
.Neoplastic proliferation of glandular tissue with myoepithelial component
.Distribution:
Parotid(84%) > submandibular(8%) > lingual(0.5%)
.F:M= 3:1
Clinical presentation
.Smooth firm lobulated mobile swelling
.Commonly arise near the tail of parotid
.In superficial part
Clinical presentation.....
.If tumor present in Deep Lobe
Extend through stylomandibular tunnel
Pushes tonsils, pharynx and uvula
Pressure effect may cause dysphagia
Long term sequel- Malignant change
.Recent increase in size
.Pain- cause
Capsular distention
Salivery duct obstruction
Infiltration of nerve
Tumor necrosis
.Nodularity
.Involvement of skin, lymph nodes, facial nerve and masseter muscle
.Restriction of jaw movement
Clinical examination
.Smooth firm lobulated mobile swelling
.Positive curtain sign
.Lifted ear lobule
.Involvement of facial nerve- palsy
.Bimanual palpation- for deep lobe
.Opening of the stensons duct
Parotid duct palpation
Diagnosis
.Fine needle aspiration cytology
.Core needle biopsy
.Ultrasonography
.CT scan
.MRI scan
USG- hypoechoic lobulated lesion
CT scan
MRI scan
Management
.Surgical excision of tumor
Superficial parotidectomy - PATEY'S operation
Total parotidectomy
.Complication:
Facial nerve injury
Recurrence 5-50%
Warthin's tumor
.Also k/a Adenolymphoma or Papil ary Cystadenolymphomatosum
.Benign tumor occur in only parotid gland.
.2nd MC benign tumor
.Bilateral 10-15%
.M:F= 4:1
.Association:
Cigarrete smoking
Irradiation
Warthin's tumor.......
.Often multicentric
.Typical y heterogenous on imaging ie having cystic component frequently
.On T-99 pertechnetate scan- "Hot spot" due to high mitochondrial content, a characteristic
feature.
.Management:
Excision of tumour
Risk of recurrence ?nil
No malignant change
Mucoepidermoid tumor
.Commonest malignant tumor
.Most common in parotid gland
.Etiology: radiation
.Early stage- painless gradually progressive mass
.Later on- may involve facial nerve
.On the basis of cellular characteristic: 3 grade
Low grade
Intermediate grade
High grade
Mucoepidermoid tumor.......
.Management:
.Low grade ?
WLE or superficial parotidectomy
.High grade-
Radical parotidectomy with neck node dissection and adjuvant therapy
Adenoid cystic carcinoma
.Slow growing high malignant tumor
.High affinity to perinural extension
.Management:
Radical parotidectomy with adjuvant cth
Fast neutron therapy
Parotid surgery
.Superficial Parotidectomy
.Total Conservative Parotidectomy
.Radical Parotidectomy
Intraop- identification of facial nerve
Tragal Pointer of CONLEY'S- tip of inferior portion
of cartilaginous canal
Tracing the tendinous insertion of posterior belly
of digastric muscle
Nerve just lateral to styloid process
Hamilton bailey technique- tracing from distal to
proximal
By use of nerve stimulator
Indication of facial nerve sacrifice
.Preoperative weakness or paralysis of nerve
.Evidence of gross invasion
.Tumor transgressing from superficial to deep part
Complication of parotidectomy
.Facial nerve injury
.Haemorrhage
.Salivary fistula
.Flap necrosis
.Frey 's syndrome
.Injury to great auricular nerve
Frey 's syndrome
Nerve supply
.Parasympathetic:
Secreto-motor- from otic ganglion ? postganglionic fibre via auriculo-temporal nerve
.Sympathetic:
.Sensory:
Great auricular nerve ? to parotid fascia
Frey 's syndrome......
After injury
.secretomotor fibres from auriculotemporal nerve grow out
.joins with distal end of great auricular nerve.
.Also k/a "Gustatory Sweating"
