The remainder of the examination is unremarkable. Fine-needle aspiration of the mass confirms pleomorphic adenoma which is consistent with the pathology of the original tumor.
The salivary glands are the site of many neoplasms characterized by a mixture of epithelial and myoepithelial cells and stromal fragments. Cytologic distinction of these neoplasms may be very dificult but careful attention to cellular details and the interaction between the cells and stronia can cor
## Abstract ## Background. Pleomorphic adenoma constitutes the most common benign parotid gland tumor. Local recurrence after surgical treatment (lateral or total parotidectomy) has been described in 1% to 5% of cases. Malignant degeneration has been reported in 2% to 9% of cases of pleomorphic ad
## Background: Excision of parotid superficial lobe pleomorphic adenomas requires removal of a surrounding cuff of normal parotid tissue. less aggressive dissection in removing pleomorphic adenomas that occur in the deep lobe of the parotid gland does not seem to compromise prognosis in these patie
