Abstract

The parotid tissue can give rise to a large variety of benign and malignant neoplasms. To evaluate the efficacy of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and the outcome and complications of parotidectomy over a 15-year period. A retrospective review was performed in patients who underwent parotidectomy from January 1995 to July 2017. The data recorded were as follows: gender, age, physical history findings, FNAB, surgical procedure, final pathological diagnosis, and complications. Benign neoplasms prevailed (487 patients), whereas 40 patients presented with malignant tumors; 68.7% of all tumors were pleomorphic adenoma and 17.1% were Warthin’s tumor. Sensitivity and specificity of FNAB were 87% and 100%, respectively. There were 12 cases of seroma and 15 cases of marginal mandibular transitory paresis. Marginal mandibular definitive paralysis associated with malignant tumor was observed in 3 cases. The standardized parotidectomy is a safe operation with a low rate of complications.
