[Cystadenolymphoma of the parotid gland. A study of 40 cases].
A statistical review of 40 cases of adenolymphoma (Whartin's tumor) of the parotid gland is presented. In 10% of the cases, other tumors are found in the same concerned gland. Therefore, the authors perform a subtotal parotidectomy rather than a simple removal of the tumor of a superficial parotidectomy. This policy reduces the risk of facial nerve injury by repeated dissection.
