Pleomorphic Adenoma in the Left Parotid Gland
Parotid Tumor Surgery in Istanbul by Prof. Cetin Vural, M.D.
Our 34-year-old female patient visited our clinic due to a mass she noticed under her left ear a year ago. Following the examinations, it was determined that there was a tumor mass with a diameter of 11mm in the left parotid salivary gland.
Our patient underwent a left superficial parotidectomy surgery while preserving the facial nerve, during which the tumor and a small amount of healthy salivary gland tissue around it were removed.
Our patient, who was discharged without any problems on the second day after the surgery, was reported to have a pleomorphic adenoma as a result of the histopathological examination.
