OBJECTIVE: In primary parotid gland malignancies, the incidence of level-specific cervical lymph node metastasis in clinically node-positive necks remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the incidence of level-specific cervical node metastasis in clinically node-negative (cN0) and node-positive (cN+) patients who presented with primary parotid malignancies.
DATA SOURCES: Electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane).
REVIEW METHODS: Random-effects meta-analysis was used to calculate pooled estimate incidence of level-specific nodal metastasis for parotid malignancies with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses of cN0 and cN+ were performed.
RESULTS: Thirteen publications consisting of 818 patients were included. The overall incidence of cervical nodal involvement in all neck dissections was 47% (95% CI, 31%-63%). Among those who were cN+, the incidence of nodal positivity was 89% (95% CI, 75%-98%). Those who were cN0 had an incidence of 32% (95% CI, 14%-53%). In cN+ patients, the incidence of nodal metastasis was high at all levels (level I 33%, level II 73%, level III 48%, level IV 39%, and level V 37%). In cN0 patients, the incidence of nodal metastasis was highest at levels II (28%) and III (11%).
CONCLUSION: For primary parotid malignancies, the incidence of occult metastases was 32% compared to 89% in a clinically positive neck. It is recommended that individuals with a primary parotid malignancy requiring elective treatment of the neck have a selective neck dissection which involves levels II to III, with the inclusion of level IV based on clinical judgment. Those undergoing a therapeutic neck dissection should undergo a comprehensive neck dissection (levels I-V).
