    Abstract
    A study was made of 187 patients with parotid pleomorphic adenoma treated by radiotherapy. This followed surgery but with incomplete removal or tumor spillage. In the early years of the study radiotherapy was given by radium needle implant done usually at the time of surgery, but from the late 1960s beam-directed external radiotherapy with a head shell was used most commonly. A 3-field technique or wedge pair was the standard technique. The median age was 46 with nearly half the patients (87/187) aged between 40 and 60, and the ratio of women to men was 1.4:1 (110:77). Median follow-up for all patients was 14 years. One hundred fifteen patients had radiotherapy immediately after their first operation with a recurrence rate of 0.9% (1/115). Of the 115 there were 2 cases of radionecrosis (1 major, 1 minor), 1 case of permanent facial nerve palsy, 1 Frey Syndrome (post-gustatory sweating), and 1 salivary fistula. Seventy-two patients had radiotherapy delayed until one or more recurrences had been surgically treated. Nine (12.5%) of these developed yet further recurrence after radiotherapy. There were 2 cases of radionecrosis (1 major), 4 cases of facial nerve palsy (3 of which were complete), 16 cases (22.2%) of Frey Syndrome, and 1 case of malignant change in a parotid tumor. In addition one squamous cell carcinoma developed at the site of a needle implant 25 years later. Recurrences after radiotherapy continued beyond 20 years of follow-up. Patients having unsatisfactory surgery due to spill at operation or residual tumor left behind should have radiotherapy immediately and not delayed until local recurrence occurs because of the increased morbidity and the higher incidence of yet further recurrence.
