Pleomorphic adenoma and benign parotid tumors: extracapsular dissection vs superficial parotidectomy—review of literature and meta-analysis

The diagnostic value of cytology in parotid Warthin's tumors: international multicenter series

“…From this series, it is not possible to draw conclusions on the accuracy of core biopsy, used only in 5.6% of cases: however, a recent metaanalysis supports its role in terms of diagnostic accuracy, technical performance, and safety. 30 However, while extracapsular dissection plays an important role in treating benign diseases with limited surgical access, the risk of inadequate treatment is inherent, as evidenced by the significant discordance between preoperative cytology and final histology demonstrated in this study. 25 Although the extent of surgery for WT is mostly limited to variations of extracapsular dissection and partial superficial parotidectomy, the risk of complications from surgery is significant.…”

Extracapsular dissection versus superficial parotidectomy in benign parotid gland tumors: The Vienna Medical School experience

“…Of all benign parotid tumors, 25% are diagnosed as Warthin's tumors . The superficial parotid lobe lateral to the facial nerve is by far the most frequent localization of these benign lesions . Because pleomorphic adenoma and Warthin's tumor have a tendency for local recurrence, clear resection margins are key to prevent recurrent disease …”

WITHDRAWN: Comparison of the effect of total conservative parotidectomy versus superficial parotidectomy in management of benign parotid gland tumor: A systematic review

“…Tumors of the salivary glands represent 3%e10% of all head and neck neoplasms (Foresta et al, 2014). Approximately 75%e85% of these neoplasms occur in the parotid gland, of which 70%e80% are benign (Woods et al, 1975;Batsakis, 1979;Eveson and Cawson, 1985;Spiro, 1986;Byrne and Spector, 1988).…”
