What Every Otolaryngologist Needs to Know About Parotid Tumor Management (AMW2023)

Parotid gland neoplasms are the most common salivary gland tumors and while most are benign, the parotid gland is also the most frequent site of parotid gland malignancy and many parotid swellings have overlapping clinical features. Understanding the workup and management of parotid masses is a fundamental core knowledge for all otolaryngologists. This panel will provide important guidance to the clinical evaluation of patients with parotid tumors including the role of imaging and biopsy in predicting the risk of malignancy. Surgery is the primary modality of treatment for most parotid neoplasms but tailoring the surgery to the pathology and extent of disease is important to avoid unnecessary morbidity. The panelists will discuss their approaches to incision design, nerve preservation and reconstruction for presumed benign neoplasms of the parotid gland. Panelists will describe nuances in surgery to avoid complications such as Frey’s syndrome and wound complications. The controversy about extracapsular dissection will be discussed. In addition, the panel will address the approach to suspected or proven malignancy as well as the discovery of malignancy or other unexpected findings at the time of surgery or final pathology.
