Abstract
Because the risk or recurrence is higher when surgery is performed by inexperienced surgeons, the authors advocate that parotid gland surgery should be performed by adequately trained operators and the surgical specimen ideally should be examined by a histopathologist experienced in the diagnosis of salivary gland tumors. Recurrence rate for these tumors increases with time; therefore, long-term follow-up is required for these patients.
