Histopathologic Features

Recurrence of benign neoplasms can usually be attributed to incomplete excision. Such is the case with benign mixed tumors of salivary glands. Certain histopathologic features of mixed tumors, however, appear to facilitate recurrences. These are: 1) a predominantly myxoid composition, and 2) transcapsular extension by the tumor. Multicentric origin is possible, but it must be regarded as a much lower order of probability.

Mixed Tumors

Surgery was performed on 622 patients with tumors of the salivary glands from 1929 to 1972; the gland affected was the parotid in 527 cases, the submandibular glands in 50, and minor salivary glands of palate and other sites in 45. The analysis of distant results point out that both for benign and malignant tumors total sialoadenectomy must be the treatment of choice, as demonstrated by the high rate of recurrence after local excision or partial resection of the gland, even in cases of surely benign lesions such as mixed tumors. It is worthy of being quoted the high rate of recurrence from cylindromas, especially of the palate (48.5%), after surgical removal. As to malignancies of parotid and submandibular glands 5-years survival rates after radical surgery were of 52 % and 30 % respectively.

Cranial Cavity

Pleomorphic adenoma is benign tumor of the salivary glands. It is the most common neoplasm occurring in salivary glands. Although it is a benign tumor, it should be treated as a clinically uncertain. In about half of the cases a blurred boundary between the tumor tissue and the parotid parenchyma can be observed. This tumor metastasize distant, even without malignant transformation. Malignant transformation of adenoma observed in 3-5% of cases. The aim of this study was to present the case of 75-year-old patient with recurrent mixed tumor spreading by continuity to the cranial cavity.
