Cystic Parotid Lesions and Classification of Parotid Tumors

The causes of cystic parotid lesions may be congenital or acquired and may cause bilateral or unilateral cysts. Bilateral cystic lesions include Warthin's tumor, benign lymphepithelial lesions of human immunodeficiency virus, Sjorgrin's syndrome, and sialocele. Unilateral cystic lesions include Warthin's tumor, sialocele, first-branchial cleft cyst, parotid lymphoepithelial cyst, parotid lymphangioma, necrotic and infected lymph node. This chapter describes in more detail the etiology, clinical presentation, evaluation, and treatment of “sialocele” and “dermoid cyst of the parotid gland.” It also summarizes parotid gland tumors based on the World Health Organization histological classification, which categorizes parotid tumors into benign epithelial tumors (most commonly pleomorphic adenoma), soft tissue tumors (hemangioma), hematolymphoid tumors (lymphoma), and secondary tumors (represent less than 2% of all head and neck neoplasms).

ntroduction: Salivary tumors represent a heterogeneous group of tumors of diverse location, histological structure and bio logical behavior. The purpose of this study was a retrospective evaluation of surgical treatment of a group of patients with newly dia gnosed benign tumors of the parotid salivary gland operated in the years 2014–2018 at the ENT department of Hospital České Budějovice, a.s. Material and methods: A type of surgery, defi nitive histology, postoperative complications and a number of recurrences were monitored. The data were evaluated by descriptive statistical methods. Results: A total of 190 surgeries with benign histological fi ndings in 182 patients were performed. The most common benign result was Warthin‘s tumor (90 cases, 47.4%), followed by pleomorphic adenoma (66 cases, 34.7%). Uncommon histological types of tumors were dia gnosed in 14 patients (7.4%). Non-tumorous fi ndings were found in 20 cases (10.5%). The most frequently performed procedure in 84 cases (44.2%) was extracapsular extirpation. Transient lesion in the area of innervation of the temporofacial and / or cervicofacial branch of the facial nerve was present in 34 (17.9%) patients. Permanent paresis of some of the branches of the facial nerve was reported in 2 (1.1%) patients. In 12 patients, the postoperative course was complicated by the development of salivary fi stula (6.3%). Pleomorphic adenoma relapsed after extracapsular extirpation in 5 cases (20.0%). After partial parotidectomy, one recurrence of pleomorphic adenoma (3.6%) was recorded. Warthin‘s tumor relapsed after simple extirpation in 4 cases (20.0%). Conclusion: Our evaluation results of the surgical treatment of benign parotid gland tumors lead us to make further eff orts improve the care of our patients. We see reserves mainly in the routine use of ultrasonographic examination with performance FNAC and thus planning a safe and suffi ciently radical operational solution. Keywords: parotid gland – pleomorphic adenoma – Warthin‘s tumor – parotidectomy – recurrence – facial nerve paresis – FNAC

Congenital pathologies are those existing at or dating from birth. Occurrence of congenital cystic lesions in the oral cavity is uncommon in neonates. Eruption cyst (EC) is listed among these unusual lesions. It occurs within the mucosa overlying teeth that are about to erupt and, according to the current World Health Organization (WHO) classification of epithelial cysts of the jaws, EC is a separate entity. This paper presents a case of congenital EC successfully managed by close monitoring of the lesion, without any surgical procedure or tooth extraction. Eruption of the teeth involved, primary central incisors, occurred at the fourth month of age. During this time neither the child nor mother had any complication such as pain on sucking, refusal to feed, airway obstruction, or aspiration of fluids or teeth.
