Twenty-seven patients with recurrent pleomorphic adenomas of the parotid gland were seen. This study confirms that superficial parotidectomy with identification and dissection of the facial nerve greatly decreases the incidence of recurrent benign pleomorphic adenoma, and, in the small number that r
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.
## BACKGROUND. Parotid gland pleomorphic adenoma is histologically comprised of epithelial and mesenchymal elements. It remains to be established whether this neoplasm arises from epithelial and mesenchymal elements, or solely from the epithelial element. ## METHODS. In an attempt to resolve this
## 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
