Abstract

The analogue of the parotid gland is the first gland to form in humans. Lesions of the parotid gland are fairly easy to recognize mainly because of the location and limited number of structures present here. Tumors of parotid gland are believed to represent approximately 2% of head and neck tumors. Parotid gland tumors account for 70- 80% of all tumors of salivary glands. Patients visiting to surgery department with parotid swelling were subjected to careful history taking, complete clinical examination, and examination of facial nerve integrity. Clinical diagnosis made was confirmed with USG (ultra sonography) parotid and FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology). 14(70%) patients in antegrade group vs. 13(76.47%) patients in retrograde group had pleomorphic adenoma, 5 (25%) patients in antegrade group vs.2 (11.76%) patients in retrograde group had Warthin’sTumor,1(5%) patients in antegrade group vs.2 (11.76%) patients in retrograde group had Recurrent Pleomorphic Adenoma.
