Pleomorphic Adenoma of Minor Salivary Gland in the Parapharyngeal Space- A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: Isra Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Parapharyngeal Space Tumors (PPST) being uncommon, constitute some 0.5% of Head & Neck Neoplasms. Pleomorphic adenomas in parapharyngeal space (PPS) are commonly of primary parotid gland origin, however, very rarely minor salivary gland pleomorphic adenomas may occur and arise from ectopic minor salivary tissue in parapharyngeal space. Treatment is complete surgical excision and conventionally wide surgical approaches like trans cervical approach are utilized. We report a rare case of a large pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary gland in the right parapharyngeal space and treated with complete surgical removal done by transoral route without any complication and recurrence. Literature review reveals only few cases of large of pleomorphic adenomas removed by transoral approach. KEY WORDS: Pleomorphic adenoma, Parapharyngeal space, tumors, Minor salivary tumors, Transoral approach, Management. HOW TO CITE THIS: Saqulain G, Ahmed J, Shahan Z, Shahzad J.
