The authors describe case of big size pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland. This tumor lead to cachexia and to elimination of life in society. Attention was paid on the surgical treatment of pleomorphic adenomas by superficial or total parotidectomies. Possibility of the post operative complications avoidance, even in such big cases was emphasized. Recurrence was not observed during 10 months follow up. Use of surgical treatment make that the patient was able to return to her previous job.

Nerve dissection technique for excision of parotid tumors: Outcomes controlling for tumor size and location.
Am J Otolaryngol
December 2024
Department of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA. Electronic address:
Purpose: We examined operative efficiency, rate of facial nerve paresis, and post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing retrograde (RGD) vs anterograde dissection (AGD) of the facial nerve controlling for tumor location.
Methods: Single-institution, retrospective analysis of patients with benign parotid tumors undergoing superficial parotidectomy with facial nerve dissection over a six-year period. Operative and pathology reports were reviewed to classify tumor size, location in relation to facial nerve branches, and technique for facial nerve dissection.
Purpose: There is no current standard treatment regimen for carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) of the lacrimal gland. Neoadjuvant intraarterial cytoreductive chemotherapy (IACC) followed by multimodal therapy has achieved good locoregional control in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lacrimal gland. We reviewed our experience with neoadjuvant IACC followed by multimodal therapy for CXPA of the lacrimal gland.

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign histological form of salivary gland tumors, particularly in the parotid gland, primarily affecting women between the ages of 40 and 60. However, its occurrence in the trachea is very rare. This article reports the case of a 48-year-old woman presenting with progressive dyspnea and weight loss, initially suspected of having a pulmonary embolism.

Objectives: This study explored the suitability of local anaesthesia with conscious sedation for parotid gland tumour surgery.
Methods: Three hundred sixty-four medical records were reviewed to gather data on several key aspects for retrospective analysis. These included age, incision length, operation time, tumour size, NNIS score, ASA score, and pathology.
The Impact of Inflammation on the Etiopathogenesis of Benign Salivary Gland Tumors: A Scoping Review.
Int J Mol Sci
November 2024
Department of Otolaryngology, Academy of Applied Medical and Social Sciences, 82-300 Elblag, Poland.
Salivary gland tumors are rare head and neck tumors constituting up to 6% of all head and neck neoplasms; despite being mostly benign, these tumors present in diverse histological subtypes, making them challenging to diagnose and treat. Our research aims to investigate the link between inflammation and tumorigenesis within the salivary glands based on the literature regarding the etiopathogenesis of benign salivary gland tumors. This scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews and reporting guidelines.
