Pleomorphic adenoma: A case report
Journal Title: International Journal of Dentistry Research - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign salivary gland neoplasm with its most common site of origin being the parotid gland, usually involving the superficial lobe of the parotid gland. Pleomorphic adenoma is a painless swelling which gradually increases in size if left untreated. It has a female predilection and occurs within the age range of 30-60 years. Surgical excision bears a risk of injury to the facial nerve as it enters the substance of the parotid gland and divides into its terminal branches. Here we report a case of a pleomorphic adenoma of right parotid gland presented by a 35 years old lady which was managed by surgical excision and have described the details of the vital structures which we came across.
