Abstract
Objective
To describe the key points of cervical resection for prestyloid parapharyngeal pleomorphic adenoma and to discuss the role of modern imaging.
Observation
Retrospective case series of 10 patients (4 women and 6 men, age 29–63 years) with prestyloid parapharyngeal pleomorphic adenoma with 2 to 8 cm largest diameter on MRI, consecutively resected via a cervical approach between 2000 and 2020 in a French tertiary university referral care center. Seven patients had a minimum 10 years’ follow-up, and one was lost to follow-up before the fifth postoperative year. Peri- and postoperative complications comprised great auricular nerve transection without subsequent symptomatic neuroma (2 patients), associated transoral approach to free the upper pole of the adenoma (2 patients), capsule effraction (3 patients), and hematoma (1 patient). There were no cases of facial paresis or palsy, other cranial nerve impairment, trismus, auriculotemporal or first-bite syndrome. One of the three patients with capsule effraction showed local recurrence at month 17.
Conclusion
In agreement with previous reports, the present case series confirmed the role of the cervical approach to resect prestyloid parapharyngeal pleomorphic adenoma, and hence the need to continue teaching it.
期刊介绍:
European Annals of Oto-rhino-laryngology, Head and Neck diseases heir of one of the oldest otorhinolaryngology journals in Europe is the official organ of the French Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SFORL) and the the International Francophone Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SIFORL). Today six annual issues provide original peer reviewed clinical and research articles, epidemiological studies, new methodological clinical approaches and review articles giving most up-to-date insights in all areas of otology, laryngology rhinology, head and neck surgery. The European Annals also publish the SFORL guidelines and recommendations.The journal is a unique two-armed publication: the European Annals (ANORL) is an English language well referenced online journal (e-only) whereas the Annales Françaises d’ORL (AFORL), mail-order paper and online edition in French language are aimed at the French-speaking community. French language teams must submit their articles in French to the AFORL site.
Federating journal in its field, the European Annals has an Editorial board of experts with international reputation that allow to make an important contribution to communication on new research data and clinical practice by publishing high-quality articles.
