Parotid swelling is a common presentation in ENT clinic. Most of the cases involve pathology of the gland. There are not many reported cases about parotid duct pathology. We describe a case of a large parotid duct mucocele with a calculus. Excision of the mucocele and superficial parotidectomy was performed. The post-operative recovery was uneventful.

To highlight the first reported case of necrobiotic xanthogranuloma of the parotid gland. We also review the clinical presentations and treatments for this rare condition.

A simple, safe, and effective surgical technique for the treatment of post-traumatic parotid sialocoele

Post-traumatic parotid sialocoele is a subcutaneous extravasation of saliva from the parotid gland secondary to traumatic disruption of its duct or parenchyma. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the best therapy for parotid sialocoele, as it is resistant to conservative management. The present paper puts forward a relatively simple, safe and effective technique for the treatment of parotid sialocoele, specifically a peroral drainage technique. The results justify our recommendation to use this approach for the treatment of sialocoele.

Kimura's disease of parotid gland presenting as solitary parotid swelling

Arshad AR

Head Neck, 2003 Sep;25(9):754-7.

PMID: 12953311

Kimura's disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology commonly seen among orientals and characterized histologically by lymphatic follicles, vascular proliferation, and marked eosinophilic infiltration. It has a predilection for the head and neck region. The lesion is benign but can be mistaken to be a malignant lesion.

Noorizan Y, Chew YK, Khir A, Brito-Mutunayagam S

PMID: 20058583 MyJurnal

Facial nerve palsy with a parotid mass is usually associated with malignant neoplasm of parotid gland. Its occurrence as a complication of parotid abscess is extremely rare. A literature review revealed only 16 cases of facial nerve palsy associated with suppurative parotitis or parotid abscess were reported. We present a case of deep parotid abscess which is complicated by facial nerve dysfunction. Underlying neoplasia was excluded.

Fulltext An audit of parotidectomy in Singapore: a review of 31 cases

Hwang SY, Brett RH

Med J Malaysia, 2003 Jun;58(2):273-8.

PMID: 14569749

A series of 31 consecutive parotidectomies was evaluated. FNAC could differentiate tumour from non tumour in 72.8% of cases. For actual histology, FNAC was correct in 66.6%. Frozen section was correct in differentiating between benign, malignant and inflammatory conditions in all cases. Eighty-eight percent of frozen section histology concurred with final histology. The immediate postoperative period had 13 cases of facial nerve dysfunction, but only 3 cases had residual weakness. The branch most commonly affected was the mandibular branch (92.3%). Two patients had Frey's syndrome and one had a traumatic neuroma. FNAC and CT scans improve preoperative planning, providing histological evidence and the extent of the lesion.

PMID: 18705472

This study is to analyze the incidence of facial nerve paralysis after parotidectomy and the type of pathologic condition involved in Hospital Pakar Sultanah Fatimah, Muar between 2002 and 2006. There were 20 parotidectomies done on 20 patients over this period of time. Fourteen were done for tumour and six for inflammatory conditions. The pathology involved were pleomorphic adenoma 9 (45%) cases, Kimura disease 2 (10%) cases, carcinoma 5 (25%) cases and inflammatory condition 4 (20%) cases. Out of 20 parotidectomies done (13 for superficial and 7 for total), 4 (20%) patients had complication of facial nerve paralysis, 2 Malignant tumour, 1 benign tumor and 1 was inflammatory condition. In conclusion, preservation of the facial nerve and its function, wherever possible, is very important to reduce social and functional morbidity.

Fulltext Iatrogenic submandibular duct rupture complicating sialography: a case report

Sharouny H, Omar RB

Iran Red Crescent Med J, 2014 Sep;16(9):e7882.

PMID: 25593739 DOI: 10.5812/ircmj.7882

INTRODUCTION: Sialolithiasis is the most common disease of salivary glands. Sialography is particularly important for the assessment of the outflow tract and in diagnosing obstructive salivary gland lesions including calculi.

CASE PRESENTATION: We report on a 38-year-old female with sialolithiasis whom had Wharton's duct perforation, complicating the sialography. She was treated conservatively with a course of co-amoxiclav, oral prednisolone for three days and pain-killers. The patient was clinically well on follow-up reassessments at the end of the first week and three weeks post procedure.

CONCLUSIONS: Perforation of salivary duct complicating the sialography is rare. Awareness of this potential complication and utilizing a good sialography technique need to be advocated amongst radiologists. Response to treatment by conservative management is preferred as illustrated in this case.

Fulltext Transient unilateral parotid gland swelling following upper endoscopy

Journal of Clinical and Health Sciences, 2021;6(1):50-52.

MyJurnal

Transient parotid gland swelling could happen as complication after per oral endoscopy or
intubation. We reported a 53-year-old man who developed transient unilateral parotid gland
swelling following esophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGDS) with dilatation of achalasia cardia.
The swelling of the parotid gland was transient and resolved completely without any
intervention.
