Operated in 1978 from the same tumor smaller, partial parotidectomy with sequellae of facial paralysis which improved after treatment with diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma. Physical exam: mild facial paralysis at the level of the left oral commissure. Oroscopy: it turns out tumor displacing the left lateral wall of the mouth, the anterior pillar and tonsillary bed to the middle line, a tumor in the parotid region that extends to the left sub maxillary region of stony consistency, painless edge net connected to the deep layers of 10 cm in diameter. Has a Computed Tomography: left parotid tumor that extends from the base of the skull, moves midline structures in the oropharynx, parapharyngeal space of approximately 11 x 9.5 x 6.5 cm with micro calcifications without apparent alteration of cranial nerves.
