    Study Notes

    Salivary Gland Management

    • Superficial parotidectomy is used for managing mixed malignant tumors/Carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma, Warthin's Tumor/Adenoma lymphomatosum.
    • These tumors can be diagnosed via Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC).
    • Malignant transformation of Warthin's tumor occurs rarely.
    • Radiotherapy is required after surgery for mixed malignant tumors/Carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma.

    Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma

    • Most common salivary gland malignancy in children and young adults.
    • Peak incidence occurs in the second decade of life.
    • Risk factor: Radiation/Chemotherapy during childhood.

    Miscellaneous

    • Metastasis from Unknown Primary: Enlarged cervical lymph node, FNAC is performed.
    • Cancer Investigation: Radiological examination and investigation are performed to identify the primary source of the tumor. The search for the primary source includes investigating specific areas such as the retromolar trigone, base of tongue, tonsillar fossa, fossa of Rosenmuller, and pyriform sinus.

    PET-CT Analysis

    • Positron Emission Tomography (PET-CT) is used to locate the primary tumor.
    • 18-Fluorodeoxy glucose (18-FDG) is the isotope used for the scan and has a half-life of 110 minutes.

    Cyst Analysis

    • Dentigerous Cyst: A cyst associated with an unerupted tooth, most commonly the third molar. Treatment involves surgical removal (enucleation).
    • Dental Cyst: A cyst associated with a carious (decayed) tooth. Treatment requires removal of the carious tooth.

    Recurrent Parotitis in Childhood

    • Affects children aged 3-6 years, rapid swelling of one or both glands, aggravated by chewing and eating, symptoms last for a week followed by a quiescent period and recurrence, USG shows snowstorm appearance.
    • Treatment: Long course of antibiotics and endoscopic washouts.

    Sialolithiasis

    • Stones in salivary glands, more common in submandibular gland due to antigravity drainage and viscous secretions.
    • Composition: Ca(PO₄) (most common).
    • Presentation: Post-prandial painful neck swelling.
    • Investigation: NCCT (80% are radiopaque).
    • Treatment: Endoscopic management for 5 mm distal stone, duct slitting, ESWL for non-palpable/non-visualized stone, gland excision as a last resort.

    Faciomaxillary Surgery

    • Clinical Features: Fast-growing parotid swelling, potential facial nerve involvement.
    • Investigations: Imaging (CT/MRI), IOC: FNAC.
    • Management:
