ABSTRACT
We analyse our results in the treatment of the tumors of the parotid gland, diagnosticated from 1981 till end of 2004. We saw 132 patients with tumors of the parotid, being 41 of them malignant. The surgical technique more used was the total parotidectomy with conservation of the facial nerve. The global survival obtained in the malignant tumors was 60% after five years. Surgery is the treatment of election in the tumors of epitelial origin of the parotid gland. The derived of the lymphoid tissue must be treated by other ways and are inheritance of the hematologic oncology.

Analizamos nuestros resultados en el tratamiento de los tumores de la glándula parótida diagnosticados desde 1981 hasta finales del 2004. Vimos 132 pacientes con tumores de la parótida, siendo 41 de ellos malignos. La técnica quirúrgica más usada fue la parotidectomía total con conservación del nervio facial. La supervivencia global que obtuvimos en los tumores malignos fue del 60% a los cinco años. La cirugía es el tratametno de elección de los tumores de estirpe epitelial de la glándula parótida. Los derivados del tejido linfoide deben tratarse por otros medios y son patrimonio de la oncología hematológica
