Abstract

The​aim​of​this​study​was​to​describe​the​characteristics​cases​of​parotid​mass​in​Khon​Kaen​​hospital​in​ 5-year​period.​Medical​and​pathological​records​of​parotid​mass​in​the​patients​underwent​surgical​procedure​in​ Khon​Kaen​hospital​between​January​2006-December​2010​were​descriptive​reviewed.​ Results:​From​total​112​cases,​59​(52.7%)​were​male​and​53​(47.3%)​were​female.​The​age​ranged​ from​2​to​82​(mean=48.6​±​14.2)​years.​The​most​frequency​84​cases​(75.0%)​were​benign​tumor​group;​
and​16​(14.3%)​were​Inflammation/Infection​group.​Pleomorphic​adenoma​(n=56,​50%)​was​predominate​ pathology​followed​by​Warthin’s​tumor​(n=14,​12.5%)​and​Chronic​sialadenitis​(n=14,​12.5%).​By​10.7%​ of​our​patients,​malignant​neoplasms​were​developed​and​mean​age​was​48.7±13.1​years​and​the​most​common​
pathology​was​mucoepidermoid​carcinoma. Conclusion:​Pleomorphic​adenoma​was​the​most​frequent​​tumor​in​our​study​and​​malignant​tumor​ occurred​most​in​the​​relatively​earlier​mean​age​from​previous​study.
