Treatment of Recurrent Benign Parotid Gland Tumour

Recurrence of a benign parotid gland tumour presents a distinct management challenge, typically requiring careful surgical planning and multidisciplinary input to reduce the risk of further recurrence.

Clinical Scenario Recurrent benign parotid tumours will usually be treated surgically. Given the complexity of revision surgery in the parotid region, the involvement of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) is central to planning the next steps.

Treatment Approach (Summary)

Following surgical management of the recurrent tumour, post-operative adjuvant therapy may be considered to reduce the risk of re-recurrence — with suitability determined through MDT discussion.
