BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to investigate the oncological and functional outcome following extracapsular dissection as the sole form of treatment in locally limited low-grade malignant parotid tumours in the long term.
METHODS: The records of all patients treated for T1-T2 low-grade malignant tumours of the parotid gland solely by means of extracapsular dissection between 2005 and 2017 were studied retrospectively.
RESULTS: A total of 16 cases formed our study sample (7 men, 9 women). Their mean age was 50.2 years (21-84 years). Mean follow-up was 107 months (60-201 months). In 6 cases the tumour was an acinic cell carcinoma, in 9 cases a mucoepidermoid carcinoma and in one case a basal cell adenocarcinoma. Regarding the T category, the tumour was Tis in one case, T1 in 12 cases and T2 in three cases. The five-year disease-specific survival rate was 100 %, as was local disease control. Facial nerve function was House-Brackmann grade I without exception.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed very encouraging long-term results following primary extracapsular dissection as the sole surgical therapy for carefully selected low-stage, low-grade, inferiorly located lesions in patients with high compliance.
LAY SUMMARY: The "one-size-fits-all" strategy of complete parotidectomy with neck dissection might be tantamount to overtreatment by less aggressive cases of parotid cancer. Extracapsular dissection seems to be oncologically sufficient for carefully selected T1-T2 low-grade cases in the long-term in patients with ensured follow-up.
