Summary The authors report on the histological and clinical findings in 54 patients with malignant parotid tumours (23 of them recurrencies), which were treated in the Institute of Oncology, Budapest, in the years 1952 to 1966. Apart from 22 malignant mixed tumours there were 32 carcinomas. An improvement of results is possible only by combining radical operation at an early stage with radiotherapy. Operative methods and complications are briefly discussed. The authors results are compared with those of others. Of 22 patients with malignant mixed tumours 41 % reached the 5-year mark, 9.1 % were considered as 5-year-cures. Amongst the patients with parotid carcinoma 51.6 survived for 5 years, whereas 35.4 % remained free of recurrent tumour for 5 years.
