Parotid Epidermoid Carcinoma: A Case Report
- Journal of Nuclear Medicine & Radiation Therapy , 8 (4) : 1-2
Résumé
Introduction: Malignant parotid tumors are rare. They are characterized by their histological diversity dominated
by muco-epidermoid tumors and adenocarcinomas; squamous cell carcinomas are much rarer.
Result: We report a case of carcinoma not very differentiated from the parotid evolving for 6 years to reach 15 cm
of major axis at the time of its diagnosis in a 35-year-old woman.
Conclusion: Epidermoid carcinomas, although rare, are not exceptional. Their management is based on total
parotidectomy provided that the diagnosis is early. Population education is required for a first-line use of health
services in front of any indolor swelling in the parotid region
