Pleomorphic Adenoma in the Left Parotid Gland
Parotid Tumor Surgery in Istanbul by Prof. Cetin Vural, M.D.
Our 44-year-old male patient had a swelling complaint that has been present in front of his right ear for 5-6 years and has recently been growing. Upon examination, a hard mass with a diameter of 3-4cm was detected in the right parotid gland.
The patient underwent a right superficial parotidectomy surgery, during which the tumor and the healthy salivary gland tissue around it were removed.
Our patient, who had symmetrical and healthy facial movements after the surgery, was discharged on the second day.
After the histopathological examination, the pathology specialists reported that the tumor was a benign pleomorphic adenoma (mixed tumor).
