[Salivary gland neoplasms].
La Revue du Praticien 2023 September
SALIVARY GLAND NEOPLASMS. Salivary gland tumors represent a heterogeneous group of lesions, with various anatomical locations. The most frequent site of involvement is the parotid, and the most frequent histology is pleomorphic adenoma, a benign tumor with the potential for recurrence and malignant transformation. Approximately one third of tumors are malignant, and the prognosis depends on the tumor histology and histoprognostic criteria. The diagnostic strategy focuses on determining the benignity or malignancy of these lesions to choose appropriate treatment. It is based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [associating morphological images with diffusion and perfusion sequences], and on fine needle aspiration. Surgery is almost always indicated to allow histological confirmation and treatment of the disease. The extent of resection, the need for elective neck dissection, and the indication of adjuvant therapy (postoperative radiotherapy) depend on the tumor histology.
