INTRODUCTION
• less then 1% of Head and neck neoplasms
• 70-80% are benign
• Radiological imaging very important for diagnosis
• Surgical excision is the primary treatment
• Morbidity of surgery should be considered along with natural history of disease in making a
treatment plan
ANATOMY
Prestyloid : deep lobe of parotid, fat, and lymph nodes
Poststyloid : internal carotid a., internal jugular v., CNs IX-XII, sympathetic chain, and
lymph nodes
• 40-50 % are salivary gland neoplasm
• 80-90 % pleomorphic adenoma
• 20% malignant –mucoepdermoid ca.,acinic cell ca Carcinoma ex pleomorphic
adenoma .
• Major vessels are displaced posteriorly and parpharyngeal fat
displaced medially
Prestyloid space
• 25-30% are neurogenic in origin
• Major vessles are displaced anteriorly
Poststyloid space
TUMORS OF THE PPS
• Primary Tumors
• Primary lymphoproliferative disease
• Metastatic lymph nodes
• Tumors extending from adjacent structures
Direct Extension
 Nasopharynx
 Oral cavity
 Oropharynx
 Mandible
 Maxilla
 Temporal bon
Metastasis
 • Follicular thyroid cancer
 • Papillary thyroid cancer
 • Medullary thyroid cancer
 • Osteogenic sarcoma
 • Squamous cell carcinoma
Primary tumors
Salivary gland tumor
Neurovascular tumors
Miscellaneous tumors
Salivary Gland Tumors
 • Most common PPS neoplasms: 40-50%
 • Pleomorphic adenoma 80-90%
 • Mucoepidermoid most common malignant
 • Less than 5% parotid tumors involve the PPS
Salivary Gland Tumors
 • Located in prestyloid space
 • From deep lobe of parotid or minor salivary glands
 • On CT or MRI a fat plane between the parotid and a prestyloid mass indicates minor salivary
gland origin
 • Displace the internal carotid posteriorly
Neurogenic Tumors
Schwannoma
 • Most common neurogenic neoplasm
 • Vagus, sympathetic chain most common
 • Benign and slow growing
 • Generally don’t affect nerve of origin
 • Less than 1% malignant
 • Displace internal carotid anteriorly
Paraganglioma
 Second most common
 Highly vascular
 Arise from vagus , carotid body, jugular bulb
 • Bilateral 10%, familial 30%
 • Part of MEN IIA or IIB (medullary thyroid carcinoma,
pheochromocytoma, parathyroid hyperplasia-with or
without mucosal neuromas)
 • Secrete catecholamines 1-3%
 • Malignant 3-10%
 • Classically, paragangliomas mobile anterior-posterior but not up and down
 • Glomus vagale displace carotid anteriorly
 • Carotid body tumors splay internal and external carotid – “lyre” sign
Neurofibromas
 • 3rd most common neurogenic tumor
 • From Schwann cells and fibroblasts
 • Unencapsulated (involve nerve)
 • Multiple
 • Part of Neurofibromatosis type I
Miscellaneous Tumors
 • Wide variety of tumors
 • 20%of total PPS tumors
 • Lymphoma, hemangioma, teratoma, Lipoma , branchial cleft cyst , arteriovenous malformation,
internal carotid aneurysm
Clinical features
 Late presentation
 Neck swelling
 Oropharyngeal swelling
 Pain
 Cranial nerve palsy
 Dysphagia ,dyspnea
 Trismus
 ETD
 Hoarseness of voice
 Hypertension ,flushing
Evaluation
 Detailed history
 Complete head and neck examination
 Pulse and blood pressure
 Cranial nerves
 Bimanual palpation
 Bruit, thrill
 IDL
 Neither AJCC nor International union
against cancer have given any staging for
pps tumor
Investigations
 FNAC
 Ultrasound guided
 CT-guided FNAC procedures are essential for lesions that are not directly detectable without
imaging techniques
Special investigations
 24-hour urine collection for catecholamines
 Vanillylmandelic acid (VMA)
 Metaiodobenzylguanidine scan (MIBG)
IMAGING
 CT
 MRI
 ANGIOGRAPHY
 PET SCAN
CT
 Locates tumor to prestyloid vs postyloid
 Fat plan between mass and parotid
 Displacement of carotid artery
 Enhancement of lesion
 Bone erosion
 Limited soft tissue detail -MRI
MRI
 Most useful study
 Relationship of mass and other soft tissue and carotid more easily seen than with CT
 Characteristic appearance of tumor types on MRI allows preoperative Dx 90-95% of patients
Angiography
 Used to all enhancing lesions
 Gold standard for relation ship to blood vessels
 Differentiate neurogenic and vascular
 Main indication is planning for surgical treatment
 Balloon occlusion test
Treatment
 Mainly surgical excision
 Radiation therapy .
 Poor surgical candidate
 unresectability
 Failure of balloon occlusion test
Surgical Rx
Preoperative workup
 Pre.op. counselling
 Preoperative embolization of tumors > 3cm size with obvious feeding vessel
 Functioning paragangliomas should be identified and pre op alpha and beta blockers should be
given
Surgical approaches
 Depends on location. Size , suspicion of malignancy ,relationship to neurovascular
structures, surgeon experience
 Goal is to achieve optimal exposure and vascular control without significant
morbidity
 Trans-oral
 Trans-cervical +/- mandibulotomy
 Trans-parotid
 Trans-cervical-Parotid
 Infratemporal fossa
 Transcervical-transmastoid
Transoral
 Has been used for small, benign , prestyloid tumor
 Very limited exposure
 Increased risk of tumor rupture and spillage,
 Risk of injury to neurovascular structure
 Not recommended
Transcervical
 Reserved for pre and post styloid tumors
 Transverse incision at level of hyoid
 Submandibular gland displaced or removed
 Digastric muscle retracted or its tendon is divided
Transparotid
 For small deep lobe parotid tumors
 Superficial parotidectomy
 Division of stylomandibular ligament
 Dissect around mandible
 May use mandibulotomy
Transcervical-parotid
 Deep-lobe parotid tumors with PPS extension
 Extend cervical incision up infront of ear
 identification facial nerve
 Divide posterior belly digastric
 Divide stylomandibular ligament, styloglossus, stylohyoid
close to styloid process
Transmandibular Approaches
 Both the lateral mandibulotomy and the median mandibul-
otomy-transpharyngeal approach
 Very large tumors
 Malignancy
 Vascular tumors extending to skull base
 Need a tracheostomy
infratemporal fossa approach
 Preauricular lateral infratemporal fossa approach
 Skull base or infratemporal fossa involvement
Transcervical-transmastoid
 Cervical incision carried postauricularly
 Mastoidectomy
 Remove mastoid tip exposing jugular fossa
 Facial nerve may need to be dissected from Fallopian canal
Nonsurgical Management
Poor surgical candidates, failed balloon occlusion, elderly, unresectable lesions,
would require sacrifice of multiple cranial nerves
• Observation for stable tumor
• Radiation for growing tumor
Observation
 Benign and asymptomatic
 Paragangliomas grow 1 -1.5 mm per year
 Mortality less than 10% per year for untreated
Radiation
 Not used for cure
 Arrest the growth
 Metastatic tumor
 Postoperative irradiation is recommended for high-grade malignancies or when wide surgical margins cannot
be obtained.

  • 38. Angiography  Used to all enhancing lesions  Gold standard for relation ship to blood vessels  Differentiate neurogenic and vascular  Main indication is planning for surgical treatment  Balloon occlusion test
  • 39.
  • 40. Treatment  Mainly surgical excision  Radiation therapy .  Poor surgical candidate  unresectability  Failure of balloon occlusion test
  • 41. Surgical Rx Preoperative workup  Pre.op. counselling  Preoperative embolization of tumors > 3cm size with obvious feeding vessel  Functioning paragangliomas should be identified and pre op alpha and beta blockers should be given
  • 42. Surgical approaches  Depends on location. Size , suspicion of malignancy ,relationship to neurovascular structures, surgeon experience  Goal is to achieve optimal exposure and vascular control without significant morbidity
  • 43.  Trans-oral  Trans-cervical +/- mandibulotomy  Trans-parotid  Trans-cervical-Parotid  Infratemporal fossa  Transcervical-transmastoid
  • 44. Transoral  Has been used for small, benign , prestyloid tumor  Very limited exposure  Increased risk of tumor rupture and spillage,  Risk of injury to neurovascular structure  Not recommended
  • 45. Transcervical  Reserved for pre and post styloid tumors  Transverse incision at level of hyoid  Submandibular gland displaced or removed  Digastric muscle retracted or its tendon is divided

  • 51. Transparotid  For small deep lobe parotid tumors  Superficial parotidectomy  Division of stylomandibular ligament  Dissect around mandible  May use mandibulotomy
  • 52. Transcervical-parotid  Deep-lobe parotid tumors with PPS extension  Extend cervical incision up infront of ear  identification facial nerve  Divide posterior belly digastric  Divide stylomandibular ligament, styloglossus, stylohyoid close to styloid process
  • 53. Transmandibular Approaches  Both the lateral mandibulotomy and the median mandibul- otomy-transpharyngeal approach  Very large tumors  Malignancy  Vascular tumors extending to skull base  Need a tracheostomy
  • 54. infratemporal fossa approach  Preauricular lateral infratemporal fossa approach  Skull base or infratemporal fossa involvement
  • 55. Transcervical-transmastoid  Cervical incision carried postauricularly  Mastoidectomy  Remove mastoid tip exposing jugular fossa  Facial nerve may need to be dissected from Fallopian canal
  • 56. Nonsurgical Management Poor surgical candidates, failed balloon occlusion, elderly, unresectable lesions, would require sacrifice of multiple cranial nerves • Observation for stable tumor • Radiation for growing tumor
  • 57. Observation  Benign and asymptomatic  Paragangliomas grow 1 -1.5 mm per year  Mortality less than 10% per year for untreated
  • 58. Radiation  Not used for cure  Arrest the growth  Metastatic tumor  Postoperative irradiation is recommended for high-grade malignancies or when wide surgical margins cannot be obtained.
