Tumors arising in accessory parotid tissue.

F E Johnson, R H Spiro

    American Journal of Surgery
    |October 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Accessory parotid tumors are rare, accounting for 1% of parotid neoplasms. While many are malignant, surgical excision typically provides a cure for these accessory parotid gland tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Head and Neck Surgery
    • Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Accessory parotid tumors are uncommon neoplasms arising from ectopic salivary tissue.
    • These tumors represent a small fraction of all parotid gland masses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize the clinical experience with accessory parotid tumors.
    • To evaluate the management and outcomes of these rare neoplasms.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 23 patients with accessory parotid tumors over a 40-year period.
    • Surgical management involved an extended cheek-flap incision with either local excision or subtotal parotidectomy.

    Main Results:

    • Accessory parotid tumors constituted 1% of all primary parotid neoplasms.
    • Over half of the evaluated tumors were malignant.
    • Adequate surgical excision generally resulted in a curative outcome.

    Conclusions:

    • Accessory parotid tumors require careful surgical consideration due to their potential for malignancy.
    • An extended cheek-flap approach facilitates adequate tumor resection.
    • Surgical management, tailored to clinical findings, is effective in treating these tumors.
