Parotid neoplasms refer to abnormal growths or tumors in the parotid gland, which is the largest of the salivary glands located in the neck near the ear. These neoplasms can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and their symptoms may vary depending on their type and size.
The parotid gland is the largest of the major salivary glands and is located in the neck, anterior to the ear. Its primary function is to produce and secrete saliva into the mouth, aiding in digestion and maintaining moisture in the oral cavity.
Parotid diseases refer to a group of medical conditions that affect the parotid glands, which are the largest of the salivary glands and located in front of each ear. These diseases can cause swelling, pain, infection, or blockage of the parotid glands, leading to difficulty swallowing, speaking, or eating. Common parotid diseases include bacterial or viral infections, such as mumps or parotitis; salivary gland stones or tumors; and autoimmune disorders, such as Sjogren's syndrome or HIV/AIDS. Treatment for parotid diseases varies depending on the underlying cause but may include antibiotics, surgery, radiation therapy, or medications to manage pain and inflammation.

'Parotid neoplasms' refererar till abnorma tillväxt eller förändringar i form av godartade ( icke cancerartade ) eller maligna ( cancerartade ) tumörer i parotisgländan, den största körteln som producerar saliv i huvudet. Parotidgländerna är en par av gländer belägna framför och under öronskålen.

Godartade parotidneoplasmer kan vara bland annat pleomorfa adenomer, Warthins tumör eller basalcellsadenomer. Dessa är oftast långsamt växande och ger mildare symtom som smärta eller svullnad i området.

Maligna parotidneoplasmer kan vara bland annat mucoepidermoid carcinom, adenoid cystic carcinom eller squamous cell carcinom. Dessa är mer aggressiva och kan sprida sig till andra delar av kroppen. Symtomen på maligna tumörer kan inkludera snabb växande svullnad, smärta, otillräcklig öppning av munnen eller ansiktsförlamning.

Behandlingen för parotidneoplasmer kan omfatta kirurgi, strålbehandling och/eller kemoterapi beroende på typen och graden av tumören.

Den Parotida gladan är den största salivkörteln i kroppen och ligger framför öronen, längst bak på kinden. Den producerar ett vattenlöst slag av saliv som hjälper till att bryta ner kolhydrater i matspjälkningsprocessen. Parotidglanden kan bli inflammerad eller smittad, vilket kallas parotit (eller, mer känt som, mumps).

Parotid diseases refer to a group of medical conditions that affect the parotid glands, which are the largest of the salivary glands and are located in front of each ear. These glands produce saliva that helps in digestion, lubrication, and protection of the mouth and throat.

Parotid diseases can be broadly classified into inflammatory, infectious, neoplastic (tumor-forming), and autoimmune disorders. Some common examples of parotid diseases include:

1. Parotid gland infection or swelling (acute and chronic)
2. Salivary gland stones or calculi
3. Salivary gland tumors, both benign and malignant
4. Parotid gland enlargement due to systemic diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis
5. Parotid gland inflammation due to autoimmune disorders such as Mikulicz's disease, Sjogren's syndrome, and lupus.

Symptoms of parotid diseases may include swelling, pain, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, fever, and drainage of pus or fluid from the gland. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may range from antibiotics, surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, to supportive care such as hydration and massage.
