Abstract
The type of surgical treatment of parotid tumors is based on the tumor histology and stage, ranging in the majority of cases from superficial parotidectomy with preservation of the facial nerve to radical parotidectomy including resection of the facial nerve. A detailed work-up including a fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are required in order to select the surgical strategy. In case of extension of the lesion to the adjacent structures, such as the skin, the external ear, and the bone including the temporal bone or the mandible, etc, an extended parotidectomy including the parotid gland and the involved structures is indicated. Adequate repair of the defect will contribute to the recovery of the patient.
