Abstract
Introduction. A case of pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland was reported. Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor of the major salivary glands. A review of the literature confi rms that this kind of tumor is less common in the minor salivary glands. We described statistic population, types of the diagnostic, treatment and clinical course of pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland. Material and method. We encountered such a tumor in a 55-year-old woman who was admitted to our Hospital. The only symptom was signifi cant face deformation, growing for 30 years. Results. The tumor was located under the right side of the face and was removed surgically. No complications were observed in the postoperative course but paresis of the facial nerve occurred. The patient was discharged from the hospital with the recommendation of facial muscles rehabilitation. After the two months from the surgery, paresis was diminished. Afterwards contact with the patient got lost. Conclusion. Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor of the major salivary glands. Surgery is the main method of the treatment. The most common complication is paresis of the facial nerve.
