“…If the tumor is histologically high-grade or the deep lobe is involved by the tumor, a total parotidectomy is usually performed [40,41]. Radical parotidectomy should only be considered if the intact nerve limits total resection or if the nerve is directly invaded [42].…”

“…In a few centres, T1/T2 low grade malignancies are also treated by superficial parotidectomy; [29,30] in most centres all parotid cancers are treated by conservative or radical parotidectomy. [31,32] …”

Imaging of salivary gland tumours is a major challenge for radiologists due to the great variety of differential diagnoses. This article gives a short overview on the anatomy of the salivary glands, the epidemiology of salivary gland tumours as well as the clinical presentation and the different imaging modalities including new magnetic resonance techniques such as diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy applied in the work-up of salivary gland masses. The imaging features of different tumour types and their differential diagnoses are also discussed. Finally, staging classification and treatment options are presented.

Radical resection is currently the predominant treatment for malignant tumors of the parotid gland, despite a high local recurrence rate of 13-32% and distant metastasis rate of 13-26% postoperatively 14,31,34 .…”
