Özet
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine retrospectively the clinical data of patients who were operated by the same surgeon due to parotid mass. Material and Method: The clinical data of 110 patients who had parotidectomy due to parotid mass between the years 2009 and 2014 were examined retrospectively. Results: 45 of the patients were female while 65 were male. The average age of female patients was 45, while the average age of male patients was 48.9. The most common lesion observed in female patients was pleomorphic adenoma (71,1%), while the second most common lesion was whartin tumor (4,4%) and benign cystic lesion (4,4%). The most common lesion in male patients was pleomorphic adenoma with a frequency of 38.5%, the second most common lesion was whartin tumor with a frequency of 27.7%. When the distribution of benign and malignant lesions was analyzed in terms of gender, it was found that 93,3% of the female patients had benign lesion while 6,7% had malignant lesion and 83,1% of the male patients had benign lesion while 16,9% had malignant lesion. Overall, 87,3% of the patients were found to have benign lesion while 12,7% were found to have malignant lesion. As a conclusion, while the most commonly observed lesion in our study was pleomorphic adenoma, followed by Warthin tumor, which was in parallel with the literature, it was remarkable that lipoma was seen in 4 patients and unlike the literature, the most common malignant tumor was squamous carcinoma and none of the patients under 40 years of age had malignant tumor and Warthin tumor. © 2017 OMU.
