Pleomorphic Adenoma in the Left Parotid Gland

A male patient, 32 years old, presented with a lump under his right ear for over 4 years. MRI examination revealed a suspected pleomorphic adenoma in the parotid gland. Total parotidectomy was performed, during which the parotid tissue remaining on the surface of the facial nerve was removed, and the tumor located deep within the branches of the facial nerve was excised while preserving the nerve branches. The histopathological examination confirmed the tumor as a pleomorphic adenoma. The patient was discharged without any complications.
