Abstract

Parotidectomy, combined with neck dissection, is not rare situation in case of parotid malignancy. It is common to accomplish the parotidectomy and neck dissection separately. But there are numerous lymph nodes surrounding the marginal mandibular branch of facial nerve and facial artery and vein. And so, Mono-bloc dissection of the parotid gland and neck specimen is neccessary to completely resect these lymph nodes with preserving the marginal mandibular branch of facial nerve. We are reporting three cases of mono-bloc dissection of the parotid gland and neck specimen.
