A case is presented of a young female with parotid recurrent pleomorphic adenoma and skin infiltration treated with subtotal parotidectomy combined with a bilateral superficial muscular aponeurotic system rhytidectomy.

Myopericytoma (MPC) is a vascular neoplasm exhibiting differentiation towards perivascular cells. Variable cytoarchitechtural features are visible within MPC, and there is much overlap between MPC, myofibroma and glomus tumours. MPC have a local recurrence rate of 10-20% and malignancy has been described in a few published cases. Previously, superficial parotidectomy has been recommended for MP...

Frey's syndrome is a complication of parotidectomy that is thought to occur as a result of aberrant regeneration of the postganglionic parasympathetic nerve fibres supplying the parotid gland to severed postganglionic sympathetic fibres which innervate the sweat glands of the face. Frey's syndrome is difficult to treat but is a preventable phenomenon and surgeons must be aware of the available ...

BACKGROUND Surgery for recurrent parotid pleomorphic adenoma is a challenging problem. METHODS One hundred eight patients who underwent 134 reoperations for recurrent parotid pleomorphic adenoma (follow-up, 22 years) were evaluated for histopathologic features and risk factors for recurrence. RESULTS The number of reoperations for tumor recurrence ranged from 1 to 10. Twenty-seven patients ...
