Understanding Pleomorphic Adenoma

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands, accounting for 45–75% of all salivary gland neoplasms. These tumors typically present as slow-growing, painless lumps near the jaw, in front of the ear, or on the palate. While benign, there's a small risk (approximately 5%) of malignant transformation over time. 

Symptoms and Diagnosis

Patients with pleomorphic adenoma may notice a firm, movable lump under the skin. Symptoms can include swelling, discomfort, or difficulty swallowing, depending on the tumor's size and location. Diagnosis involves a thorough physical examination, imaging studies like MRI or CT scans, and fine-needle aspiration biopsy to confirm the presence of the tumor.

Treatment Options

The primary treatment for pleomorphic adenoma is surgical removal. For tumors located in the parotid gland, procedures such as superficial or total parotidectomy are performed to excise the tumor while preserving facial nerve function. Surgical intervention is crucial to prevent recurrence and potential malignant transformation.
