  1. F Female, M Male, FNAC Fine needle aspiration cytology, Bx incisional biopsy, LN Lymph nodes, RTH Radiotherapy, NA Staging is not applicable, being non-malignant
  2. aThis patient underwent further excision up to completion to total parotidectomy with scarification of facial nerve after the third recurrence and received postoperative radiotherapy. The patient later underwent nerve grafting
  3. No complications were documented in these cases, lymph nodes were not surgically approached, staging was not applicable, and all cases were alive at the end of the study
