Frequently Asked Questions About Parotid Tumor Treatment
Common questions about parotid tumors, parotidectomy and parotid cancer surgery.
What is a parotid tumor?
A parotid tumor is an abnormal growth arising in the parotid gland, one of the major salivary glands. Parotid tumors can be benign or malignant and require appropriate clinical and diagnostic evaluation.
Are all parotid tumors cancerous?
No. Many parotid tumors are benign. Some can be malignant and require cancer-focused treatment. Appropriate assessment is needed to determine the nature of the tumor.
What is parotidectomy?
Parotidectomy is surgery to remove part or all of the parotid gland. The extent of surgery depends on the tumor's type, location, size, extent and relationship to the facial nerve.
What is a pleomorphic adenoma?
Pleomorphic adenoma is a common benign salivary gland tumor that can occur in the parotid gland. When surgery is indicated, the procedure is planned according to the tumor's location and relationship to surrounding structures.
What is a Warthin tumor?
Warthin tumor is a benign salivary gland tumor that commonly occurs in the parotid gland. Evaluation and treatment depend on the clinical situation and diagnostic findings.
Can parotid cancer require neck dissection?
Selected patients with malignant parotid tumors may require regional lymph-node surgery or neck dissection depending on clinical findings, imaging, pathology and disease extent.
Can the facial nerve be preserved during parotid surgery?
When a tumor does not involve the facial nerve and preservation is oncologically appropriate, surgical planning may aim to identify and preserve the nerve. If the nerve is involved by cancer, more extensive surgery may sometimes be required.
Can recurrent parotid tumors be treated with surgery?
Recurrent parotid tumors may sometimes be treated surgically. Previous surgery, tumor location, imaging, pathology and surrounding anatomy are important considerations before reoperative surgery.
