UNLABELLED Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign epithelial tumor of adenoid structure preferentially arising from the parotid gland. It was shown that complete tumor excision is a curative measure and recurrence is likely in incompletely excised tumors. The aim of this study was to analyse the outcome of patients with pleomorphic adenoma from salivary glands in order to evaluate the surgical strateg...

We present a case of a 62-year-old male patient with pleomorphic adenoma and painless solid mass in his right eye. Computerized tomography demonstrated a mass with a diameter of 2.5 cm located in the right lacrimal gland. The mass was removed completely by combined orbitofrontal craniotomy through a transcranial approach. Histopathologic examination revealed pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal ...

History and Examination: A 30-year lady presented to the General Surgery OPD with complaints of a slow-growing painless swelling in right parotid region for 1 year. single, 4×3 cm, vertically oval, firm, non-tender, freely mobile was palpated region.Investigations: Ultrasonogram revealed well-defined hypoechoic lesion superficial lobe gland- possible Pleomorphic adenoma. USG guided FNAC from sh...

mass showing “cellular components with mucoid material consistent with pleomorphic adenoma.” The gland was removed, revealing a 2.9 x 2.4 x 2.0 cm well circumscribed tan-grey opaque mass with a myxoid appearance on cut surface (Figure 1). The frozen section slides demonstrated mixed epithelial and myxoid areas. The extensive myxoid stroma contained characteristic red to pink crystalloid deposit...

BACKGROUND Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (Ca ex-PA) is defined as a carcinoma arising from a primary (de novo) or recurrent benign pleomorphic adenoma (PA). METHODS We present a parotid myoepithelial carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma in a 38-year-old man with a t(3;8)(p21;q13) as the only chromosomal alteration by cytogenetic and spectral karyotypic analysis (SKY). RESULTS The finding of ...

Salivary  gland  tumors  accounts  for  less  than  1%  of  all  tumors.  Minor  salivary  gland  tumors (MSGTs) are uncommon and make up about 10% of all salivary gland neoplasms. The clinical and histopathological distribution of these tumors vary geographically. A case of a 38 yr old man with a minor salivary gland mass at chin region isreported here. The tumor invaded into the anterior ...

Introduction. Although pleomorphic adenoma is the most common neoplasm of the salivary glands, this tumor most commonly involves the minor salivary glands of palatal and rarely occurs in cervical region. Case Report. A 21-year-old female referred to our clinic due to painless mass of right upper region of neck. After paraclinical and pathologic evaluation, it was diagnosed as cervical pleomorph...

The pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland tumor. A remarkable morphological diversity can exist from one tumor to the next. We present here a case of pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary glands of the soft palate which had predominantly myoepithelial cells with minimal stroma, ductal cells, or tubular elements.

The parotid gland is the most usual location of benign neoplasms affecting major salivary glands and quite often the recurrence of these tumours is noticed, specially in the case of pleomorphic adenoma. The occurrence of multiple tumours in the parotid glands is rare and the majority of these are multifocal Warthin's tumors (papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum). The simultaneous development of ...
