Introduction: Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of major salivary glands. Case presentation: In this paper, we present a case of PA of submandibular gland of 22 years duration, and it did not undergo malignant transformation. The tumor usually presents as painless, firm, slow growing mobile mass. Fine-needle aspiration cytology was consistent with a pleomorphic adenoma. Management and prognosis: Surgical excision with preservation of nearby structures was the treatment of choice and postsurgery histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma. After a follow-up period of one year there was no recurrence. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is necessary to prevent the risk of recurrence rate. Continuous follow-up of patient is imperative because of the malignant transformation reported in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
