Introduction: A routine superficial parotidectomy with facial nerve dissection in parotid tumor surgery often results in facial dysfunction, Frey syndrome and defect in operation site. Formal facial nerve dissection has been a recommended procedure, because pleomorphic adenoma is a commonly recurrent tumor in case of inadequate surgical management, however it can not be always reasonable in aspect of postoperative sequelae. Patients and Methods: Through retrospective review of 245 cases parotidectomies and follow up for more than three years, clinicophathologic factors influencing to the selection of surgical procedure were considered to be age, sex, and preoperative pathology confirmed by preoperative MRI and FNA. Results: Five categories were established as follow for surgical decision in parotid tumor surgery. Category 1. Superficial lobe adenoma -- Superficial parotidectomy -- 124 Category 2. Deep lobe adenoma -- Deep parotidectomy -- 39 Category 3. Non pleomorphic adenoma -- Tumorectomy 1.5cm adenoma in young female -- Tumorectomy -- 25 Category 4. Recurrent multicentric tumor -- Parotidectomy+RT -- 9 Category 5. Parotid cancer; Parotidectomy + UND (RND) + RT -- 48 ; CORE (Composite Regional Ear Resection) -- 2 Conclusion: Surgical morbidity and recurrence rate could be minimized by individualizing the surgical procedure according to the category principle based on the clincopathologic features.

Objectives: The best treatment for the malignant parotid tumor still remains to be defined, and a better knowledge about the tumor features that predict the treatment result is needed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the treatment outcomes and to suggest the optimal treatment modality for the parotid cancer. Materials and Methods: The clinicopathologic characteristics of 113 patients who were treated for parotid cancer from January 1990 to December 2002 were retrospectively analysed. Univalate analyses were performed to establish the prognostic influence of pateint age, gender, tumor size, histologic grade and lymph node metastasis. Results: The mean age was 46.4 years old (15-81 years) and. The male to female ratio was 1 : 1.1. The chief complaint was a palpable mass in 85%, pain was in 12.4% and facial nerve palsy was accompanied with 2.7%. The mean tumor size was 3.5cm in diameter. The most common malignant tumor was mucoepidermoid carcinoma (33.6%), followed by acinic cell carcinoma (15%), adenoid cystic carcinoma (11%), carcinoma expleomorhpic adenoma (11%), basal cell carcinoma (7%). The most common operative procedure was total parotidectomy (47.8%) and various types of cervical lymph node dissection were added in 69.9%. Postoperative radiotherapy was done in 61.1 %. Postoperative complications developed in 54 cases (47.8%), including 46 cases (40.7%) of facial nerve palsy and 9 cases (8%) of Frey's syndrome. Recurrences developed in 21 cases (18.6%) and deaths in 15 (13.3%). Cumulative survival at 5 year was 75.4%. Univariate analysis of clinical factors showed that histologic grade and positive cervical lymph node significantly influenced survival (p<0.05). Conclusion: These results suggests that the radical resection with lymph node dissection and postopertaive XRT would be necessary to improve the survival of the patients with high grade cancer or positive lymphnode metastasis.

목 적: 두경부 암 환자 치료 시 표적 및 주변 장기(Target 및 Structure)를 확인하는 방법으로 MVCBCT, KVCBCT, CT On-rail System, Ultrasound 등이 이용된다. 이 중 MVCBCT의 경우는 뼈를 이용한 표적 및 주변 장기의 확인에는 유용하나, 연부조직으로 구성된 표적 및 주변 장기의 확인에는 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 CT On-rail System을 이용하여 두경부 암 환자의 이하선의 움직임에 대한 파악과 체적의 변화에 따른 선량의 변화를 연구해 보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 본원에서 두경부 암으로 치료받는 환자 5명을 대상으로 하였다. 선택된 환자는 시멘스사 ARTISTE CT Vision (CT On-rail System)을 이용하여 주당 3회씩 CT 스캔을 시행하였다. CT 스캔 후 이하선의 움직임을 치료 계획시의 영상과 비교하여 이동된 좌표를 얻었으며, 이하선의 체적을 확인하기 위하여 획득한 CT영상을 치료계획 시스템(RTP System)에 전송하여 변화된 체적에 따른 선량분포의 차이를 확인하였다. 결 과: 이하선의 움직임에 의한 표적 좌표의 변화는 X: -0.4~0.4 cm, Y: -0.4~0.3 cm, Z: -0.3~0.3 cm이었다. GTV의 체적은 평균 7.11%/week로 감소되었으며 이하선의 체적과 선량의 변화는 평균적으로 좌측 이하선의 체적은 평균 4.81%/week, 우측 이하선의 체적은 2.91%/week, 선량은 좌측 이하선의 선량은 3.66%/week, 우측 이하선 선량은 2.01%/week 감소하였다. 결 론: CT On-rail System에서 얻어진 영상을 이용하여 표적 및 주변 장기를 확인한 결과 MVCBCT를 이용한 영상에 비해 연부조직의 관찰에 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 획득한 영상으로 재 치료계획(Replanning)을 한 후 선량의 재분포를 획득한 결과 단순한 움직임의 보정뿐 아니라 체적의 변화를 고려한 정확한 선량분포를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이렇게 보정된 선량의 전달은 Adaptive Targeting Radiotherapy가 가능할 수 있다고 사료된다. 향후 선량의 전달까지 걸리는 시간을 단축할 수 있는 Real Time Adaptive Targeting Radiotherapy가 구축되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of salivary glands has a protracted clinical course with perineural invasion, delayed onset of hematogenous metastasis, and poor responses to classical cytotoxic chemotherapic agents. Most deaths from salivary ACC are caused by lung metastases that are resistant to conventional therapy. Therefore, knowledge of cellular properties and tumor-host interactions that influence the dissemination of metastatic cells is important for the design of more effective therapy of salivary cancer. I determined in vitro expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its downstream effectors and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2 on a human salivary ACC cell line (ACC2). I also evaluated the expression of EGF and VEGF signaling molecules and metastasis-related proteins on human salivary ACC cells orthotopically growing in nude mice. In Western blot and immunohistochemical analyses, EGFR and VEGFR-2 were presented and phosphorylated in ACC2 cells. In human parotid cancer xenografts in nude mice, EGF and VEGF signaling molecules, IL-8, and MMP-9 were expressed at markedly higher levels than in normal parotid tissues. Moreover, tumor-associated endothelial cells of this orthotopic parotid tumor expressed phosphorylated VEGFR-2 and phosphorylated Akt, which is a cell-survival protein. These data show that those biomarkers can be molecular targets for therapy of salivary ACC, which has a propensity for delayed lung metastasis.

Objectives: Major salivary gland tumor mainly develops in the parotid gland and pleomorphic adenoma is a large percentage. The aim of this study is to get clinicopathologic characteristics of overall major salivary gland tumors and suggestions regarding surgical management through collective review of 315 cases. Materials and Methods: This is a clinicopathologic review of 315 cases of major salivary gland tumor who were treated surgically at Department of Surgery, Head and Neck Clinic, Pusan Paik Hospital, Inje University during the period of 18 years from 1980 to 1997. Analysis was performed regarding the incidence, classification, surgery and its complications, and survival rate of salivary gland cancer. Results : 1) Parotid gland was the most prevalent site of salivary gland tumor(78%) and submandibular gland(21%) was next in order. Benign tumors were 257cases(81%) and malignant tumors were 58 cases(19%). 2) Male to female sex ratio was 1:1.2, the most prevalent age group was 3rd decade and the second group was 4th decade. 3) Histopathologically, the most common benign salivary gland tumor was pleomorphic adenoma. Warthin's tumor was next common. Among the malignant tumors, mucoepidermoid carcinoma was most common, and the next were adenoid cystic carcinoma and acinic cell carcinoma. 4) In pleomorphic adenoma, superficial parotidectomy was performed in 129 cases, and extracapsular tumorectomy was performed in 3 cases. In non-pleomorphic benign tumor, tumorectomy was performed in 21 cases. In 40 cases of deep lobe tumor, total parotidectomy was performed in only 2 cases and deep parotidectomy was performed in 38 cases. 5) Surgical complications were facial nerve injury 19 cases, Frey syndrome 13 cases, and salivary fistula 3 cases. 6) Overall 5-year survival rate of salivary gland cancer was 63%. Conclusion: Postoperative recurrence rate is low in benign tumor, but high in cancer of salivary gland tumor. Surgical procedure should not be aggressive in benign tumor, especially in parotid tumor, but should be aggressive in malignant salivary gland tumors.

Background: Cross-facial nerve graft is considered the treatment of choice for facial reanimation in patients with unilateral facial palsy caused by central facial nerve damage. In most cases, a traditional parotidectomy skin incision is used to locate the buccal and zygomatic branches of the facial nerve. Methods: In this study, cross-facial nerve graft with the sural nerve was planned for three patients with facial palsy through an intraoral approach. Results: An incision was made on the buccal cheek mucosa, and the dissection was performed to locate the buccal branch of the facial nerve. The parotid papillae and parotid duct were used as anatomic landmarks to locate the buccal branch. Conclusions: The intraoral approach is more advantageous than the conventional extraoral approach because of clear anatomic marker (parotid papilla), invisible postoperative scar, reduced tissue damage from dissection, and reduced operating time.

The most important concern to do parotidectomy is correct identification of the facial nerve and preservation of the nerve function. Many descriptions for the localization and branching types of the facial nerve trunk have existed. During the parotid surgery, it is necessary to have knowledges about the incidence and prognostic aspect of a invasion of the facial nerve by the parotid tumors. The method of the dissection and the surgical extent of the parotid gland would be decided not only by the anatomic variation of the facial nerve. but also the size and location of the tumor. Invasion of the facial nerve in parotid malignancies is the most significant factors affecting the prognosis, so radical parotidectomy which consists of the total extirpation of the parotid gland in conjunction with resection of the facial nerve is often required for proper management. Radical parotidectomy is advocated for the surgical treatment of high grade malignancies and in selective recurrent benign tumors intimately involving the facial nerve. Unfortunately, the morphologic and functional deficits created by sacrificing the facial nerve can be emotionally and physically traumatizing to the patient. Therefore, when the facial nerve is sacrificed, immediate reconstruction of the facial nerve should be necessary. Immediate nerve repair with direct anastomosis of the resected nerve ends or placement of a cable nerve graft provides the better cosmetic and functional results. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment for cancer of the parotid gland, and there is general agreement that facial nerve should not be sacrificed unless the tumor is adherent to, or surrounds the nerve. The following statement is described general principles of troublesome management of the facial nerve during surgery for parotid tumor.

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most prevalent benign tumor of the parotid gland, and shows potential malignancy. Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) can occur in 3%-15% of pleomorphic adenoma cases. Owing to its clinical similarity to benign tumors, critical information related to CXPA can be easily overlooked, leading to frequent misdiagnosis of the condition. In this article, we report a rare case of CXPA found in the 55-year-old male patient with characteristic clinical, radiographic, and histological features, and subsequent treatment.

Sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) is a rare, asymptomatic disease that occurs mainly in the salivary glands. We report the case of a 51-year-old man who presented with trismus and pain upon mouth opening. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 2-cm mass located in the anterior portion of the left parotid gland. SPA was diagnosed based on histopathological examination of the surgical specimen. In pathologic findings, there was a well-circumscribed multicystic nodule in the parenchyma. Dense fibrosis and chronic non-specific inflammatory cells were observed in the stroma. In 13 previous reports on SPA, the most preferred treatment was superficial or total parotidectomy. This report suggests that simple excision of SPA preserves facial nerve function and facial volume.

이하선 악성종양의 치료는 근치적 수술이 주된 치료법으로 알려져 왔으나 이하선이 해부학적으로 주위의 근육, 골조직, 혈관, 신경등과 밀접하게 부착되어 있어 피막 및 주위 조직의 침윤이 있거나 조직학적으로 high grade tumor, 임파절 전이가 있는 경우 등에서 광범위한 근치적 수술로도 종양을 완전히 제거하기가 어렵고 수술 후 국소재발이 빈번한 것으로 알려져 있다. 수술만으로는 국소재발율이 상당히 높은 데도 북구하고 이 종양이 방사선치료에 반응하지 않는 것으로 잘못 인식되어져와서 수술후 방사선치료를 시행해 오지 않다가 근래에 와서 수술후 방사선치료가 실시되었고 수술만 시행한 경우에서보다 국소재발율이 현저히 감소한 것으로 보고되고 있어 현재는 방사선치료가 치료 결과를 향상시키는 중요한 치료방법으로 인식되고 있다. 이에 저자들은 1970년 1월부터 1982년 12월 사이 연세대학교 의과대학 연세암센터, 치료방사선과에서 이하선암으로 치료를 받은 31예를 대상으로 후향적 추적조사를 통하여 치료방법과 치료실패 양상을 분석하여 향후 치료방법의 실정과 치료 결과의 향상을 위하여 본 연구를 실시하였다.
