Title: External Auditory Canal and Temporal Bone Carcinoma with Parotid Gland and Facial Nerve Involvement
Abstract: Background: Surgical treatment of carcinoma of the external auditory canal (EAC) and temporal bone involves a lateral temporal bone resection (LTBR) or more extensive sub-total or total temporal bone resection with some degree of parotidectomy or parotid margins. Involvement of the parotid gland or parotid nodes results in a higher pathologic staging and likely worse outcomes. In this study, we review all temporal bone carcinoma specimens at our institution over the past three years for parotid gland or parotid node involvement.
