  • Title: [Clinical aspects and therapy of parotid tumors].
    Author: Kaufmann J, Bichler E, Dworzak E.
    Journal: Laryngol Rhinol Otol (Stuttg); 1984 Sep; 63(9):457-9. PubMed ID: 6092803.
    Abstract:
    The authors report on their cases of parotid tumours between 1972-1982. Not only benign and malignant neoplasms but also inflammatory "tumours" were included, since they often exhibit signs of real neoplasms. The patient material and the results obtained agree well with the literature. The great value of computed tomography is underlined especially in cases with hidden parapharyngeal tumours. Hopefully, recently performed measurements of serum isoamylase will be a valuable diagnostic test for parotid diseases, particularly in differentiating between real neoplasms and chronic inflammatory diseases.
