Pleomorphic Adenoma of Accessory Salivary Gland in a 15 Year Old Female: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
The salivary glands are divided into major and minor/accessory glands. Tumours are not rare in salivary glands and are mainly found in major salivary glands. Tumours of accessory salivary glands are relatively less common. Accessory parotid gland is a small unit of salivary gland tissue lying on the masseter muscle and seperated from the main parotid gland with an accessory duct draining into the parotid duct. The tumours of accessory parotid gland are very rare in peadiatric age group, mostly diagnosed in 4th & 6th decades of life. We present a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the buccal mucosa in a 15-year-old female patient. The buccal mass was of a size of 3 cm located in the left cheek. FNAC was suggestive of Pleomorphic adenoma. The entire tumor mass was excised along with overlying mucosa. Histopathological examination confirmed diagnosis of Pleomorphic adenoma of accessory salivary gland. There has been no recurrence of the lesion since 1 year. Keywords: Benign tumor, Pleomorphic adenoma, Salivary gland.
