BACKGROUND: The issues of the early differential diagnosis of patients with neoplasms of the parotid salivary glands (PSG), choice of the correct tactics of surgical treatment, tumor recurrence, and postoperative complications have remained relevant for many years. AIMS: To retrospectively analyze medical records of adult patients with neoplasms of the PSGs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed a sample of patients who were hospitalized at the Maxillofacial Hospital for War Veterans of the Department of Health of the City of Moscow for the period from January 2017 to April 2022. RESULTS: The study included 302 patients (men, 38.41%; n=116; women, 61.59%; n=186). The mean age of the patients was 52.270.23 years. The study group was divided into three subgroups: the first group had benign neoplasms (n=258), the second group had malignancies (n=24), and the third group had tumor-like lesions (n=20). The article presents the main characteristics of these patients. Some features of diagnostics and planning were revealed. The authors discuss the choice of tactics of surgical techniques. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the significant development in diagnostic and surgical techniques, discrepancies between clinical and pathohistological diagnoses (28.15%) and unwanted postoperative complications remain relatively high.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
