    Southern Medical Journal
    |September 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Malignant secondary parotid tumors are rare, accounting for 9% of cases. These tumors, excluding lymphomas, often present as painful masses with facial nerve weakness, requiring surgical intervention and adjuvant therapies.

    Area of Science:

    • Head and Neck Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Malignant secondary parotid neoplasms are infrequently encountered.
    • These tumors originate outside the parotid gland but manifest within it.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the characteristics and management of secondary malignant parotid tumors.
    • To analyze the clinical presentation, surgical approaches, and outcomes for these rare neoplasms.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 545 malignant parotid tumors.
    • Identification and analysis of 52 cases (9%) of secondary parotid malignancies (excluding lymphomas).
    • Evaluation of clinical data, including symptoms, surgical procedures, adjuvant treatments, and follow-up.

    Main Results:

    • 52 out of 545 (9%) malignant parotid tumors were secondary.
    • Common presentations included parotid mass (some bilateral), pain (33%), and facial nerve weakness (20%).
    • Surgical management involved 54 procedures, including radical neck dissection for invasive/high-grade tumors; adjuvant radiotherapy/chemotherapy were used based on histology.

    Conclusions:

    • Secondary malignant parotid tumors, though uncommon, present with significant symptoms and require tailored surgical and adjuvant treatment strategies.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for optimizing outcomes in these patients.
