Deep Lobe Parotid Gland Pleomorphic Adenoma Involving The Parapharyngeal Space: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
Salivary gland tumors are uncommon, accounting for between 2 to 6.5 percent of all neoplasms of the head and neck. About 70% of all salivary gland tumors arise in the parotid gland and a great number of these are benign tumors, with an average prevalence of 75%-85%. Pleomorphic adenomas are benign salivary gland tumors, which predominantly affect the superficial lobe of the parotid gland. Deep lobe parotid tumors are relatively uncommon. Most of these tumors present as external masses. They can also present in the oral cavity and oropharynx. Magnetic resonance imaging and fine needle aspiration cytology have made it possible to establish a definite diagnosis and identify the exact location of the tumor in almost all cases before surgery. Surgical excision of the tumor mass forms the mainstay of treatment, with utmost care taken to preserve the facial nerve. We report a case of 49 yrs male presenting with swelling of parotid gland involving both superficial and deep lobe. The patient was treated with total conservative parotidectomy by transcervical approach. Histopathological report was came out to be pleomorphic adenoma of parotid gland.
