Tumors constitute the majority of parotidectomy indications, with recurrent parotitis and sialadenitis being other indications. The purpose of our study is to investigate the etiology, histopathological and surgical results of parotidectomy and the diagnostic power of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). Patients who underwent parotidectomy at our clinic between August 2020 and December 2024 were included in our study. Patient demographics, reasons for surgery, MRI, FNAB and final pathology results and any complications were recorded retrospectively. Patients under the age of 18 and those with incomplete information were excluded from the study. A total of 42 patients with a mean age of 53 were included in our study. Sixteen of the patients had pleomorphic adenoma, 13 had Warthin’s tumor and 7 had malignant tumor. Complications were observed in 2 patients. The sensitivity of FNAB was calculated as 73.8%, while the sensitivity of MRI was 47.6%, and it was observed that the success of correct diagnosis did not differ according to age, side, and gender. It was observed that the accordance between MRI and FNAB was slight. In conclusion, our study revealed that parotidectomy is most often performed as a superficial parotidectomy for benign masses. The complication rates and sensitivity of FNAB rate in our case series were similar to those in the literature, but the sensitivity of MRI was lower than that of literature.}, organization={yok}
