A Pleomorphic Adenoma in the Right Parotid Gland.
Parotid Tumor Surgery in Istanbul by Prof. Cetin Vural, M.D.
A 36-year-old female patient presented with a long-standing complaint of swelling and growth under her right ear. Ultrasonography and MRI revealed a pleomorphic adenoma in the superficial lobe of her right parotid gland.
The patient underwent a right superficial parotidectomy with facial nerve monitoring. During the surgery, all branches of the facial nerve were preserved, and the patient was discharged without any complications on the second day after the operation.
Histopathological examination of the excised mass confirmed the diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma.
