Abstract
Background: Malignant mesenchymal tumors involving the parotid gland are uncommon, characteristically aggressive, and little is known with few reports documented.
Study design: Retrospective case series.
Setting: Single institution tertiary care center, 2010 to 2022.
Method: Patients were identified from an institutional parotid tumor database. Patient history, demographics, pathologic diagnosis, treatment, and follow up were documented.
Results: Eight patients were identified, 3 were males. The average age was 61 years old, and the most common tumors identified were pleomorphic sarcomas (3 patients). Presenting symptoms included: preauricular/cheek mass in 7 patients, facial pain (4), otalgia (4), aural fullness (3), and numbness (1). All patients received a parotidectomy, and 4 patients received adjuvant therapy of either radiation or chemoradiation. Post-operatively, there were 3 cases of distant recurrence, 2 cases of regional recurrence, and 1 case of local recurrence. There were 2 reports of death.
Conclusion: Malignant mesenchymal tumors of the parotid are rare, represent varied histologies. Due to their aggressive nature, surgical resection with radiation and close follow-up may be an appropriate treatment regimen in controlling the disease.
期刊介绍:
The Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology publishes original manuscripts of clinical and research importance in otolaryngology–head and neck medicine and surgery, otology, neurotology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, head and neck oncology and surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, pediatric otolaryngology, audiology, and speech pathology. In-depth studies (supplements), papers of historical interest, and reviews of computer software and applications in otolaryngology are also published, as well as imaging, pathology, and clinicopathology studies, book reviews, and letters to the editor. AOR is the official journal of the American Broncho-Esophagological Association.
