- Abstract
Introduction: The parotid gland is the most common site for salivary gland neoplasms. Cancers of the parotid gland occur rather often. Nearly eighty percent of parotid tumors are noncancerous neoplasms. Most benign parotid tumors (80%) are found in the superficial lobe. Cancer is more likely to develop in deep lobe neoplasms. This study has been done to study the various modes of presentation of parotid tumors and to compare the FNAC of parotid tumor with the biopsy post operations. Materials and methods: This is a prospective observational study conducted from 2021 January to 2023 January at Siddhartha Medical College, Vijayawada over 30 patients attending the surgical OPD. Patients who are immunocompromised, on chemotherapy, less than 15 years have been excluded from the study. Results: The age incidence of the patients in the study group ranged from 14-76 years. The malignant tumors occurred between the age group of 17-60 years. Most patients in this series were in the 4th decade of life (33.33%). The mean age was 37.6 years for benign tumors and 43 years for malignant tumors. Out of 30 patients, 5 patients presented with pain (16.67%) in swelling, out of which 4 were benign and 1 was malignant. Pain occurred in 20% of the patients with malignant tumors and 16% of the patients with benign tumors. Superficial parotidectomy was performed in 25 patients (83.33%), and conservative total parotidectomy in 5 patients (16.67%). Conclusion: Parotid tumors are mostly benign and they involve the superficial lobe whereas the malignant tumors arise from the deep lobe. Pain is the most common presenting symptom. Ultrasound can detect the tumors and FNAC aids in confirming the diagnosis.
