Various types of parotid gland tumors are discussed from nonneoplastic to both benign and malignant neoplasms. The anatomic relationship of the facial nerve is discussed as it exits the stylomastoid foramen and courses through the parotid gland. The effect of certain tumors on facial nerve function is also characterized. Details on which types of parotid tumors are more likely to affect facial nerve function and different prognostic predictors of return to function are evaluated. In addition, the prognostic value of tumor size and histologic type of parotid tumor is included.
本文讨论了各种类型的腮腺肿瘤，包括非肿瘤性、良性和恶性肿瘤。文中探讨了面神经从茎乳孔穿出并穿过腮腺时的解剖关系。还描述了某些肿瘤对面神经功能的影响。评估了哪些类型的腮腺肿瘤更有可能影响面神经功能以及恢复功能的不同预后预测因素。此外，还包括腮腺肿瘤大小和组织学类型的预后价值。
