Abstract

VILLAR, Raquel et al. Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Parotid: an Aesthetic and Functional Solutions. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.3, pp.124-128. ISSN 2173-9161.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.maxilo.2012.07.004.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma represents 10-30% of all malignant neoplasms in the parotid gland. Treatment is a formal parotidectomy, which includes removing the tumour with an adequate margin and postoperative radiotherapy to improve the locoregional control of the disease. We report a case in order to present the management of the functional and aesthetic consequences obtained from its treatment. When the facial nerve is clinical affected or involved by the tumour, it requires resection and an immediate reconstruction. We suggest the sural nerve graft for the reconstruction of the affected facial branches and the temporo-parietal fascia flap to fill the volume left by the parotidectomy.

Keywords : Adenoid cystic carcinoma; Nerve anastomosis; Sural nerve graft; Temporo-parietal fascial flap.
