Abstract
1. A. All tumors of the parotid are treated as malignant until proved microscopically to be otherwise. 2. B. Surgery is the chief reliance in the care of these tumors which are, as a rule, mixed in their pathology. 2.1. 1. The extent of the operation will vary with the size of the tumor. 2.2. 2. An external carotid ligation is a safety measure worth using at the beginning of a difficult parotid operation. 3. C. The preoperative use of x-ray is occasionally employed. The use of radium in the wound I consider very logical in discouraging recurrences. (a) An occasional recurrence has been successfully controlled by radium implants.
