A Huge Pleomorphic Adenoma of Parotid Gland: A Case Report

Divyanshi Singh

Abstract: Salivary gland neoplasms account for less than 3% of all head and neck tumors, making them comparatively uncommon. Seventy to eighty percent of benign salivary gland tumors are Pleomorphic adenomas (PAs), the most prevalent subtype of benign salivary gland neoplasia. A case of 63 year old patient with a huge pleomorphic adenoma of parotid gland who underwent a successful surgical excision is being reported in this case report concluding Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor that grows slowly. It can develop into a large mass that causes problems if untreated. The likelihood of a malignant transformation increases with the duration of the pleomorphic adenoma. Given the high recurrence rate of these lesions, surgical resection of the lesion is the recommended course of treatment. Similar to how the surgeon will always choose the approach, which will also depend on size and location, it is advised to use conservative methods without sacrificing the patient's aesthetics and to promptly restore function.
