[Malignant neoplasm of the parotid gland. A caseload contribution].
Data from a retrospective study conducted on 20 patients with parotid malignancies are reported. Males were more often affected than females and adult-elderly than the young. A large percentage of the cases were histologically undifferentiated. Eleven total parotidectomies were performed. A further 9 patients only required surgical biopsies for the purpose of histological confirmation. Two of the twenty patients are still alive over 10 years after diagnosis of the tumour.
