Resumen

SCHAERER-ELIZECHE, Pablo E. et al. Characterization of parotid tumor surgeries and pathological findings at the IPS Central Hospital in the period 2016-2020. Cir. parag. [online]. 2023, vol.47, n.2, pp.9-12. ISSN 2307-0420.  https://doi.org/10.18004/sopaci.2023.agosto.9.

Introduction:

Parotid tumors are considered a relatively rare pathology, comprising a group of tumors that affect the head and neck. Within salivary gland pathology, they constitute 80%, and 3% of all head and neck tumors. Of these, 80% are benign tumors. The objective is to characterize parotid tumor surgeries and anatomopathological findings at the Central Hospital of IPS during the period 2016-2020.

Methodology:

Observational, descriptive, and retrospective study of the database, with clinical records of patients with a history of parotid tumor surgery at the Central Hospital of IPS during the period 2016-2020.

Results:

A total of 44 parotid surgeries were analyzed. There was no gender predominance. Patients aged 51 to 60 were the most affected. Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common benign tumor, followed by Warthin's tumor. Among malignant tumors, various types of carcinomas accounted for 9% of cases. Superficial parotidectomy was performed in 64% of cases.

Conclusion:

The majority of parotid tumors were benign, with pleomorphic adenoma being the most common. Superficial parotidectomy was performed in nearly 2/3 of the cases.
