discussion benign metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma is a rare and controversial but distinct clinical entity. although the definition of the term benign precludes metastatic disease, these tumors do not demonstrate any malignant features yet metastasized to distinct sites. it remains to be determined whether this benign metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma is really low grade salivary malignancy. ...

Pleomorphic adenoma is mixed and usually benign tumor originating salivary glands. The most common salivary gland tumor is pleomorphic adenoma. The most common localization of pleomorphic adenoma is parotid gland. Although it is found in major salivary gland, pleomorphic adenoma may be found paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity rarely. A 74-year-old female presented with a 3-month history of ri...

background: the most common neoplasm of the salivary glands is pleomorphic adenoma and the most common complications of its surgical removal are facial nerve dysfunction (temporary or permanent) and auriculotemporal syndrome (frey’s syndrome). one of the surgical techniques in pleomorphic adenoma is partial parotidectomy. the whole excised tumor is surrounded by a safety margin of parotid tissu...

Abstract Background Pleomorphic adenoma, also known as a benign mixed tumor, is the most common salivary gland tumor. The parotid accounts for 90% of total, with minor glands accounting 10%. Buccal pleomorphic adenoma extremely rare. It manifests painless, firm, slow-growing mass in cases. Case presentation A buccal was discovered an adult 43-year-old female patient treated wide surgical resect...

he pleomorphic adenoma otherwise called as benign mixed tumor, is the most common salivary neoplasm. 1 It accounts for 53% to 77% of parotid tumors, 44% to 68% of submandibular tumours and 33% to 43% of minor gland tumors. 2 Pleomorphic adenomas are derived from a mixture of ductal and myoepithelial elements. 2,3 The terms pleomorphic adenoma and mixed tumor both represent attempts to describe ...

Pleomorphic adenoma, also known as benign mixed tumor, is the most common tumor affecting the parotid gland and can reach massive size; however, intracranial invasion is rare. Recurrence of pleomorphic adenoma after excision is a well-known phenomenon and can present decades after resection of the primary tumor. Here we present the case of a 53-year-old man who presented to our clinic with ear ...

Introduction: Pleomorphic adenomas are tumors mostly originating from salivary glands. These lesions in the larynx are very rare. Case Report: We report a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma that originated from the mucosal lining, just above the glottic area at the level of the laryngeal ventricle in a 55-year-old female patient. The tumor could not be palpated easily but was observed in the C...

Pleomorphic adenoma, also known as mixed tumor, is a benign tumor which typically presents as a painless and persistent mass. The majority of pleomorphic adenomas involve the salivary glands, most commonly the parotid gland. Other sites include breast and skin. It is a rare tumor in the vulva. In this article we are reporting a case of pleomorphic adenoma of labia with characteristic pathologic...

Introduction: Pleomorphic adenoma is a rare benign salivary gland neoplasm in children, which can be treated by simple excision. This tumor is rarely included in the differential diagnosis of solid submandibular masses in children. In the neonates, congenital pleomorphic adenoma usually presents in the nasopharynx. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and recurrence is not expected. We ...

Pleomorphic adenoma or benign mixed tumor is the most common salivary gland tumor. It is most frequently located in the parotid gland, and is considered to be a benign neoplasm accounting for 70-80% of all benign tumors of the salivary glands [1]. Benign metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma is extremely rare, with only a handful of cases described. We report a case of a histologically benign mixed...
