How to treat salivary gland tumor

summary

Tumor is the most common disease in salivary gland, most of which are epithelial tumors, and mesenchymal tumors are rare. The pathological types of salivary gland epithelial tumors are very complex. Different types of tumors have different clinical manifestations, imaging manifestations, treatment and prognosis. Benign tumors account for about 75% of salivary gland tumors, among which pleomorphic adenoma and woxinoma are the most common

How to treat salivary gland tumor

First, after the occurrence of such a disease, we must do surgical resection, not tumor removal, that is, enucleation, but in the normal gland tissue outside the tumor capsule. The facial nerve should be preserved in the operation of parotid pleomorphic adenoma, and the submandibular gland pleomorphic adenoma should be removed together with the submandibular gland.

Second: woxinoma, also known as adenolymphoma, is associated with lymph nodes. During embryonic development, the parotid gland and the lymphoid tissue in parotid gland develop simultaneously, and the mammary gland tissue can be lost to the lymphoid tissue. This kind of glandular tissue has tumorigenesis, which is called woxinoma.

Third: such a tumor is often located in the posterior lower pole of the parotid gland, so partial parotidectomy can be considered to connect the tumor and the normal parotid gland more than 0.5cm around. This method is different from enucleation, which will not cause recurrence, but can retain the function of the parotid duct and most of the parotid gland. During the operation, the posterior inferior pole of parotid gland and its surrounding lymph nodes should be removed to avoid new tumors.
