Abstract

MESENCHYMAL ORIGIN TUMORS OF PAROTID GLAND

Dr. Arifa Urooj, Dr. Shazia Ghani, Dr. Hamza Nouman and *Dr. Anum Siddiqui

ABSTRACT

Desmoid tumor is a proliferation of a mesenchymal, fibroblastic or myofibroblastic tissue. It is a non-capsulated tumor. Despite its benign nature, desmoids tumor have an aggressive behavior.Its localization in the parotid gland has rarely been reported in the literature. The particularity of this location in the head and neck is the proximity of Vascularnervous structures, the facial nerve in the parotid location and the consequence, if affected, on the facial motility especially that this tumor often occurs in young people. The clinical presentation is often about a slow-growing mass characterized by being: painless, ill-defined, firm, non-inflammatory, deeply located, and fixed to the underlying structures. Treatments strategies, always made by a multidisciplinary committee, are based on the natural biological behavior of this deep fibromatosis which is unpredictable and variable. Surgery could be undergone every time it is radical. Radiotherapy could also be played. However, the most relevant point is that actually, most authors highlighted the conservative approach by the “wait and see” policy for primary as well as for recurrence of the disease after surgical resection or radiotherapy.
