Study Notes
Salivary Gland Tumors: Types, Diagnosis, and Treatment
- Lymph node enlargement due to TB and malignancy is the most common cause of neck swelling.
- Salivary gland is the most common swelling in the head region.
- As the salivary gland gets smaller, the chance of malignancy is high.
- Pleomorphic salivary adenomas (mixed salivary tumor) are the most common benign salivary gland tumors.
- Muco-epidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant salivary tumor of the parotid.
- The parotid gland is the largest of the three major salivary glands.
- The facial nerve divides the parotid gland into the deep and superficial lobes.
- Smoking, previous Epstein-Barr infection, and radiation exposure are risk factors for developing malignant salivary gland tumors.
- Parotid swelling usually presents as a slow-growing painless mass.
- Fine-needle aspiration is the biopsy of choice for salivary gland tumors.
- Surgical excision of the tumor is the standard treatment.
- Complications of parotidectomy include damage to the 7th cranial nerve resulting in Bell's palsy, Frey's syndrome, salivary fistula, hematoma, infection, and flap necrosis.
