[Auriculotemporal syndrome in patient with prostatic secondaries to the cervical vertebrae and neck lymph nodes].

Auriculotemporal syndrome is characterized by flushing sweating and hypersensitivity in the temporal, parotid and preauricular area during mastication. The syndrome is a rare complication after 1) injuries in this area, 2) parotidectomy, 3) surgery of fractures of the temporomandibular articulation 4) neoplasms of the parotid gland. It usually appears a few days to 1-2 years after the appearance of the above mentioned causes. A case of auriculotemporal syndrome in a 70 year old man with metastatic Ca from the prostate to the cervical vertebrae and neck lymphnodes is reported. On this occasion, the literature is reviewed and emphasis is given in pathogenesis and treatment of the syndrome.

[Surgery of malignant parotid tumors].

Surgical treatment of malignant parotid tumors was described from the viewpoints of radical cure and postoperative function. The function of the parotid gland is originally the secretion of saliva, but this is generally compensated for by the remaining major and minor salivary glands. Therefore, postoperative dysfunction involves possible facial palsy, deformity of the face and Frey's syndrome due to extirpated gland parenchyma and surrounding tissues. For these reasons, preservation of the facial nerve is required and resection of the gland should be as limited as the condition demands. If these procedures are impossible, plastic surgery such as nerve grafting and skin or musculocutaneous flaps is utilized. Postoperative irradiation is not applied except for unusual cases. Because malignant tumors of the parotid gland are histologically and biologically very different, preoperative examination is important for select the subsequent treatment. Superficial parotidectomy for a tumor in the superficial lobe and total parotidectomy for one in the deep lobe is the general concept adopted today. However, uniform application of this concept does not seem to simultaneously fulfil both purposes. In order to satisfy radical and functional results, delicately applied surgical techniques applied to individual cases are recommended according to the findings of appropriate preoperative and intraoperative examinations.

Surgical treatment of parotid gland tumors.

Fifty patients (27 females, 23 males) operated on for parotid neoplasms are reported. Eleven patients (22%) had benign tumors, 31 (62%) mixed tumors and 8 (16%) malignant tumors. Among patients with benign neoplasms, 10 (90,9%) were treated by enucleation (En.) and 1 (9,1%) by superficial parotidectomy (S.P.). Twenty-five patients (80,6%) with mixed neoplasms were operated on by total conservative parotidectomy (T.C.P.), 3 (9,7%) by S.P. and 3 (9,7%) by En. Three cases (37,5%) of malignant neoplasms were treated by T.C.P., and 5 (62,5%) by total demolitive parotidectomy (T.D.P.), associated to lateral lymphadenectomy in 3 patients. On the basis of a follow-up concerning 41 patients and of data from the literature, the authors report their present surgical approach for mixed tumors, underlining their preference for T.C.P., and limiting S.P. only to some selected cases.
